To the churches and the saints in the Lord’s recovery:
On February 27 an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile and a resulting tsunami struck near the second most heavily populated area of the country, where there is the highest concentration of saints who are remaining in the fellowship of the churches throughout the earth. There are approximately 300 such saints in the Concepción area, where the devastation is heaviest. Saints’ homes as far away as Santiago also suffered damage. While there are no known deaths among the saints, there has been considerable damage to their homes, some of which are uninhabitable, and their meeting places. Available reports indicate that in Concepción as many as 90% of the inhabitants have not returned to their homes for fear of the aftershocks, which are still continuing. Temblors have been felt as far away as Buenos Aires, Argentina. Efforts are being made to get details on the condition of the saints, but the damage to roads and the disruption of communications systems is making this difficult. Utilities such as water and electricity have also been interrupted.
The co-workers in the Lord’s recovery feel an urgency to care for these fellow members of the Body who have paid a price to stand for the Lord’s interest in South America. The co-workers believe that the saints and the churches share this concern. Those who desire to materially aid the saints and churches in Chile can send a check to:
