Yesterday, August 10, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Colombia. It lasted close to 2 minutes, the longest and hardest quake we've experienced since moving here 30 years ago. Thankfully Sheri and I are doing well, no great damage to the house, the church building had serious damage to the roof due to falling debris from the house behind us. I've not heard yet if our car is OK or not as it's in the shop having the ECU computer that was stolen replaced and I've no idea of the building where it is was damaged or not. Parts of this city look like a war zone. Prayers for us as we seek ways to help in the recovery are greatly appreciated.

If any of you are interested in receiving our mission updates/prayer requests, we just started a new system last month. https://sacm1987.substack.com/ is where you can join if interested. There is NO paid subscription, that'd be asinine, but Substack insists on offering such a thing. Just ignore that part of the sign up process. We appreciate all who take time to pray with/for us as we serve the population here in Coffee Country.
