Are You Willing?

To remind you, I left for Lima, Peru in the middle of July 07, and returned just 2 weeks prior to this Earthquake. So as this August 15th 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck the coast of Peru, south of Lima, this country was already still in my prayers. In Pisco, 80% of the city was destroyed and many other surrounding cities and villages suffered great loss as well. “The disaster killed over 500 people and left tens of thousands homeless. In a vast disaster area surrounding the cities of Pisco and Ica, the survivors, many of them living on the streets, are now desperately waiting for help. More than 56,000 homes were destroyed and several powerful aftershocks…." IMCWORLDWIDE.ORG Tragically this earthquake happened on a Wednesday evening when a Catholic Church full of people were attending mass. The roof collapsed in and at least 200 people were buried under the rubble of the church. The people in these cities do not have home owners insurance, so rebuilding is very difficult. Food and water are huge needs that are leaving people desperate. Nights are cold, and many people are sleeping on the streets with only blankets.

Soo just in case you were wondering, I WILL BE GOING BACK to help :)
