We have contact with the Director of the Southern District of our partner convention, Pastor Lord Merino.  In Temuco, where we live, the quake registered 8.6.  They are without water, but electricity has been restored.  Nevertheless, the devastation appears the worst in the Concepcion area.  More than 300 deaths.  No information yet about churches in that area.  We are thankful for people like Lord who is staying in our house until we arrive Wednesday.  He said it was a terrifying experience, that they are praying alot and his church will gather for a meal tomorrow.  Asked for prayer for his country.  Soon we will have information about the impact on our churches.
