Earthquake...

From CNN... "A magnitude-7.9 earthquake struck off the coast of central Peru on Wednesday evening, reportedly killing scores and injuring hundreds. The quake was felt for two minutes, according to Peruvian media. It was followed by several powerful aftershocks."

In Abancay, I felt my bed shaking for about a minute but I wasn't feeling totally well and thought it was just my head spinning... until I heard the news reports. So I think it's all OK here in Abancay as we're probably about 10 hours away from the epicentre but most of the damage is in the south of Peru near the coast in Ica.

Please pray for Peru, we have the news on and it doesn't sound good with over 300 killed and 1000 injured. Pray for the families who have lost loved ones, are injured or have lost their homes.

Glad to hear you are ok. Will pray for 'your' country - news reports say at least 500 dead.
And hope you feel better soon.
Love,

Hey, glad you're ok, plus the people around. We will pray for you and them and Peru, next growth group. May people turn to God in this time of trial.

Also, RICE Rally is on tomorrow - pray that God will be proclaimed, and that many will come to know Christ as Lord!

Hey Prilz,
I'm so glad to hear that you are safe in your new home/bed. I continue to pray for your Peruvian neighbours and that there are loads of opportunities for you to practice the new language as you support and encourage others at this time. Hope you are feeling better.
