Earthquake in China


Two weeks ago we prayed for the country of China, and I wanted to give you an update on the latest situation. A 6.9 earthquake struck the Qinghai province of China early Wednesday. There were reports of several strong aftershocks — one of magnitude 5.8 — all within hours of the initial quake. At least 400 people were killed and 10,000 others were injured. World Vision has a team in the area and asks for prayer specifically for: adequate shelter and warm clothing for children and families, as average temperatures in the area have been hovering between -3 to 14 degrees Celsius. Pray that as this country experiences such a tragedy, that their hearts will turn to the One True God and find help and hope in Him.
