Appeal for prayer support and mission giving for those in disaster areas (Ecuador & Houston, TX)





 As the United Methodist Committee on Relief responds to recent earthquakes both in Japan and now in Ecuador, Bishop Silvio Cevallos of the Evangelical United Methodist Church of Ecuador asks that people continue to hold Ecuador in prayer. The 7.8 earthquake in Ecuador (weekend of April 16 - 17, 2016) is the most powerful earthquake in Ecuador since 1987. 

Donations to assist earthquake response in both Ecuador and Japan may be sent through UMCOR's International Disaster Response fund Advance #982450.

Flood waters continue to rise in the Houston and surrounding areas. From 14 to 20 inches rain fell within a 24 hour period with more rain still predicted for Wednesday April 20 . To donate to UMCOR's U.S. Disaster Response, please give to the U.S. US Disaster Response, Advance #901670.

As thousands are being impacted by the current extreme weather conditions, let's remember to pray for those in crisis and those who are helping.  Currently (week of April 20- 26)  all areas are still in a rescue phase.
