There was a massive earthquake today in the Sichuan Province of China, near Chengdu. Estimates say that there could be up to 10,000 people killed by this magnitude 7.9 earthquake. I was fortunate enough to be born in the USA. I have traveled to China on several occasions. it breaks my heart to see all of the suffering that these people are going through as a result of a natural disaster. Stories of school children being trapped in buildings make me shudder as i anticipate the birth of my son.
Last week, Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar. US estimates the death toll to be upwards of 63-100k.
Lord, please help these people. May the doors be opened so that your glory will shine. May many people come to know you as a result of these tragedies. Please bring relief to those that are suffering from these natural disasters. Bring comfort to those that have lost loved ones and are displaced from their homes.
