CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – One of New Zealand's biggest cities lay in ruins Tuesday after a powerful earthquake toppled tall buildings and churches on a busy weekday, killing at least 65 people in the country's worst natural disaster in decades.

It was the second major quake to hit Christchurch, a city of 350,000, in five months, though Tuesday's 6.3-magnitude temblor caused far more destruction than a stronger September quake that struck before dawn on a weekend.

"It is just a scene of utter devastation," Prime Minister John Key said after rushing to the city within hours of the quake. He said the death toll was 65, and may rise. "We may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day."

Let's all keep the nation of New Zealand in our thoughts and prayers.

I know God is no respecter of persons, or of names of cities for that matter, but with a name like Christchurch, I can't help but think that somehow the Lord will use this tragedy for his glory.


I have sent a message to our Sister Joanna Tysoe to give us a report as soon as she can
