On January 13, an earthquake struck Central America leaving thousands homeless in El Salvador. Two weeks later, another earthquake occurred. This one devastated western India, and killed more than 20,000 people. Please join us with your prayers and financial support. The El Salvador earthquake destroyed 75,000 buildings and 300 churches, and damaged an additional 110,000 homes.
Survivors are busy cleaning up the rubble.
Thousands of Salvadoran families lost their homes and possessions due to the earthquake. We are also planning a long-term housing reconstruction program. It is expected that our response will include providing blankets, tarps, temporary toilets, and emergency health supplies to 5,000 families. In this country where Christians are the minority, our response can be a powerful witness to Christ's love. Jesus came to give life in all its fullness to all people, especially the poor.
