Organizers are planning to set up shelters of guadua at the churches and campground. Guadua is a Colombian thick bamboo that actually withstood the earthquake best. Vehicles are needed to distribute food to families. Taxis are not available. Some church members with vehicles have left with their families to live with family members in other cities.
Gasoline is somewhat scarce as well.
Pastors and spouses need strength as they work overtime to assist in the community. Some still fight fear at night and are unable to get good rest. The Rev. Greg Mundis, serving the Assemblies of God as Division of Foreign Missions director designate for the Europe Region, received an urgent request for prayer from a member of the Pentecostal Church in Prishtina, Kosovo. Reports are sketchy, but indicate a bomb exploded near the church late on January 28. About 20 minutes later, a bomb exploded at a Serbian cafeteria located near the church.
