Con apenas unas semanas de diferencia vuelve a temblar la tierra, esta vez en la sudamericana nación hermana de Chile. Ya tenemos noticias de las gravísimas consecuencias en pérdidas humanas y daños materiales. Chile ha sido un país muy azotado por estos sismos. En 1960 se registró casi en el mismo lugar del pasado sábado, un terremoto que se consider el más fuerte jamas registrado, que alcanzó 9.9 grados en la escala de Ritcher. El de este fin de semana registró 8.8 grados.
ABC-USA ya ha lanzado la señal de alerta para que podamos orientar donaciones que sirvan de ayuda para estos hermanos que ha sido muy afectados en Chile. Visite a ABC-USA.org, y hallará un "link" para cooperar. Allí dice:
The earthquake in Chile over the weekend has affected many. American Baptist missionaries Barbara and Dwight Bollock were not in Chile at the time of the earthquake. See International Ministries update.
"Our hearts go out to the people of Chile, especially those in the Santiago area that has borne the brunt of the devastation," said General Secretary Roy Medley. "As disciples of Jesus we are convinced that their suffering does not go unnoticed by God who on the cross took into himself the suffering of the world."
Thank you to all those faithful persons who sacrifice and give continuously to One Great Hour of Sharing. By doing so they help to keep funds available to be used when disaster breaks suddenly. These gifts help American Baptists be present to bring healing and comfort to people in all parts of the world.
We ask for prayer and that contributions be sent through normal giving channels. You can donate to One Great Hour of Sharing online at: http://www.abc-usa.org/Give/tabid/182/Default.aspx
For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. 2 Corinthians 8:12
