Carissa is On An Adventure

Our sweet daughter Carissa, who is a missionary in Argentina, could use our prayers this week and next.  She and 10 others missionaries from her YWAM base in Argentina traveled to Chile yesterday, to do earthquake relief work.  They will be working at the "Ground Zero" of the first quake.

Please pray for safety, as there are still many after-shocks taking place regularly.

Please pray for strength, as they work to rebuild houses.

Please pray for wisdom, as they minister to those who may have lost hope.

Please pray for finances, so that they can do all of the work that the Lord brings their way.

Please pray for unity of the team, as they will be working in what may be a very stressful situation.


While the Haiti earthquake media coverage was phenomenal (as it should have been), it seems that this Chile earthquake has practically been ignored.  The Chile quake was a MUCH stronger quake than the Haiti quake.  MANY homes have been destroyed.  MANY people are living in fear and hopelessness.  Carissa has seen recent pictures (from friends that are already in Chile) and she says that all she can relate it to is the devastation that our family witnessed when we traveled to New Orleans for Hurricane Relief work.

Thank you for lifting Carissa and her team up to the Lord this week.
