Prayer for Chile

We know 2 families, from language school, that are serving in Santiago, Chile. They are the Dwyer family and Admundson family. Please pray for them as they minister mightily in the devastated areas of Chile.

Also, our mission has many missionaries serving there as well. Here is a recent update from one such family. This will help you know how to better pray. Isn't it neat how technology puts us in contact with missionaries that we wouldn't have had 25 years ago. Amazing! And now we can pray mightily and specifically.

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV)

"Please continue to lift up the situation in Chile. Pray for peace for the people who are living in Chile who continue to have aftershocks. Please read below the update given to us by Karen and Charles Clark (CSL-European South Latin Cluster).

"First of all, thank you for all your prayers, emails, phone calls and donations. We certainly feel your "partnership," love and concern for us during these days! I want to refer you to this link http://www.imb.org/main/news/details.asp?StoryID=8475&LanguageID=1709 for some news from the front lines. Charles continues to be in the south working with volunteers in the most affected areas. We have two projects underway in addition to meeting emergency needs of food, water, and hygiene items. One project is for mass food preparation and distribution in several towns/municipalities. Thousands of meals a day will be prepared and distributed. Our US volunteers are working hand in hand with Chilean nationals to get this job done. Also, there is a project for building temporary shelters for families whose homes were severely damaged or collapsed completely. These two projects are being funded directly by Baptist Global Response, an arm of the International Mission Board. In addition to the BGR teams of volunteers, we are expecting many others to come and help. The idea is for churches in the US to adopt a city and come and help, working with Chileans and local Baptist churches. There is an incredible opportunity not only to serve in a tangible way, but to share the hope that we have in Christ."

As you can see from the update, volunteers from the states are needed in prayer AND on the front lines AND for financial support! How can you help?
