Peru Earthquake Inquiries

Thanks to so many for thinking of us during this time of tragedy for our country. We really don't have any churches in southern Peru, just Lima and northward (we are actually 1 ½ hour plane ride north in Trujillo). So, we don’t know anyone personally affected by the earthquake. However, our team members, the Fergusons and Caleb Sutton were in Lima last night, so they felt the tremors pretty strongly. Thankfully, aside from being scared, they made it through ok (see John Ferguson's account on his blog). For a news account covered by Knoxville, TN, news, who interviewed two of team members currently living in Knoxville, go here.

Thanks for your prayers for those affected - the people in the towns of Ica and Pisco already didn’t have much, now they have even less. Peru Mission will do what we can to assist in the aid for the affected area.
