A 6.2 magnitude quake struck
Indonesia's ancient royal city of
Yogyakarta on the
island of Java at the crack of dawn on Saturday. The earthquake destroyed many buildings in a heavily populated area and killed and injured thousands.
We are in contact with several Indonesian church leaders and I am in route with several colleagues from Medan to Yogjakarta. It is still very difficult to communicate with people in the area but relief efforts are underway. Our response will be scaled to the dimensions of the tragedy as it unfolds.
World Relief's Disaster Response team has been active in Indonesia since the 2004 tsunami. Over the course of 18 months World Relief has partnered with national and local churches as well as other faith-based national organizations to provide relief and rehabilitation services in Indonesia.
We would appreciate your prayers for those who are suffering tonight and for our team.
Shalom,
