Western China was struck by a terrible earthquake on Monday. Thousands have been killed, with thousands still missing. People have lost everything as 80% of some towns have been leveled. People from the area will be streaming to bigger cities to start life over again. Lifes have been devastated. One school lost half of its enrollment.
Our city lies about 400 miles south of the epicenter. From our understanding, no damage occured there. However, when Jason first went to China in 1997, the school he taught at was only 20 miles from the epicenter.
Pr@y that people's hearts would be shaken and that they would begin to ponder eternity. Ask for boldness for our brothers and sisters there, as well as provision for all those affected.
