Perkins Update after Earthquake - updated 3/1

3-1-2010

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give you all an update on the situation in Chile.

Family: The family is doing well. The kids are back to sleeping in their rooms but still ask if the earthquake will happen again. The house still doesn’t have electricity but the word is that maybe today or tomorrow. The kids are beginning to ask how they can help those in need.

Church: Almost everyone from our church and the churches in Santiago are accounted for without major damages, but the are three churches in the south that we have not been able to communicate with. I know many have desires to help but we will keep you posted as soon as we have an ideas of how to help we will let you know. Please be patient. Also one of our members works with the Red Cross. He is going to call me this afternoon with more information.

God is good. My prayer is that the church will shine in the darkness for the Chilean people growing the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We will be on Skype at home as soon as the electricity come back receiving your calls.

Love you all,
Zane, Tae, Naomi, Isaac, Simeon, Enoch

(Just after this update, I talked to Zane on Skype.  They also want prayers for family members of their church that are out of the country and can't get back in because of the damage to the airport.)

We are doing fine. Most of the damage was in the south even though Santiago has had some problems. The family is fine and our house is standing with no damage. We lost our glass dinning room table and some keepsakes. We are doing well. We are still without electricity so communications are a little slow. We will keep you updated. Most of the church member are fine and there are a couple of them traveling that we have not heard from keep praying. I will keep updates as I can. God bless.
