On occasion it has made it on the news - there are devastating floods in Ecuador. Depending on how the math is done and who is reporting, 200,000 people - probably more - have been affected. This morning the news is reporting 23 deaths as a result of the flooding.Here is a link to a gallery of photos.
HCJB Global is responding in cooperation with other missions. We have sent a medical team to the affected area, and are receiving donations of food, clothing and money to take down. This will be distributed in participation with several churches in the area. If you would like to donate, click here.
The government has declared a national state of emergency. This allows greater efficiency and mobility in moving resources to the flood area. It has also opened up new channels of communication for us as a mission to come along side the government in support of the relief effort.
Pray for safety of our team, for those who have lost everything, and for the long term impact (loss crops, etc.) this flooding has created. And thanks for being a part of our team!
