Saving Grace World Missions sends relief to Earthquake Victims

 An email came into my box from Saving Grace World Missions about the earthquake in Peru. SGWM is an agent of hope an a conduit for you to be a blessing to earthquake victims.

As you may have heard by now, the country of Peru was devastated by a massive 8.0 earthquake on Wednesday, August 15th. Over 500 people are confirmed dead, more than 15,000 are injured, and many others are still missing. Between seventy to eighty percent of the homes in some cities were totally destroyed. SGWM is partnering with Calvary Chapels in Peru to provide emergency relief to earthquake victims. It is our desire to assist the Peruvian people in their time of need by helping them rebuild and recover what was lost. In times of great tragedy people are often open and responsive to seeing their need for God. This is a great opportunity for us to share the love of Christ to the people affected by this tragedy. I am reminded of what the Apostle John said in 1 John 3:16-17, "By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the Love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth."

Our prayer is to meet the urgent needs of the people by providing if possible: blankets, fresh water, food and shelter. The Apostle Paul said to Titus, "Let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful."
