CHILE RELIEF – URGENT!
As you probably know, the nation of Chile recently suffered a devastating earthquake. It was one of the most powerful earthquakes on record. We have been in regular contact with our missionary there – Bishop Felix Fuentes and family. We are grateful that they are all safe and there was little damage to their headquarters church in Santiago.

The earthquake damage, however, was much more severe in the two southern regions of Chile. Bro. Fuentes, who oversees many churches throughout the nation, has about 80 churches in heavily damaged southern regions. Unfortunately, many of those churches suffered a severe or total loss. Many of the church members’ homes were destroyed and many of their church people are living on the streets in make-shift shelters with little or no basic supplies such as food, water, clothing and blankets.

Bro. Fuentes is our longest-tenured missionary in the ALJC. He and the several hundred churches that he oversees have been connected with our organization for many years. They are doing an incredible work in the nation of Chile. They are planting churches, training pastors and leaders and experiencing explosive Apostolic revival. As an organization we want to quickly come to the aid and assistance of our brothers and sisters in Chile during this devastating natural disaster.

As soon as it is safe to travel into the southern regions of Chile, Bro. Fuentes and a team from the headquarters church in Santiago will be transporting food and supplies to the churches in the south. Food, water, blankets, tarps and medical supplies are all available to purchase in the capital. We need to immediately raise funds to send to Bro. Fuentes so they can purchase these much needed supplies.

We are asking EVERY CHURCH in the ALJC to take up a special offering for Chile and forward it to headquarters as soon as possible. The people of Chile are in desperate need of immediate assistance.

Please send in your offerings as soon as possible.
