another earthquake

On September 18th, a 6.8 earthquake hit northern India and Nepal.  Hundreds of people have been affected by structural damage and power outages, with relief efforts thwarted by heavy rains and landslides. Over 250 homes have been destroyed in Nepal alone.  The death toll is close to 100, mostly in northeastern India, and has been reportedly mostly due to collapsed housing.

As a recent visitor to Nepal through our tithe partnership and the Everest Build last year, our affiliate is especially concerned about our loved ones in the area.  Please pray for the communities' speedy recovery and for the families of those who have died.
