Unspeakable Grief


The last time I stood on Chinese soil I was boarding an airplane in Chengdu in Sichuan Province. My heart aches as we hear the latest news from that region following the 7.9 magnitude earthquake on Monday. Over 12,000 deaths, over 18,000 still missing, over 26,000 injured...thousands more now homeless.

Unspeakable fear and horror. We have friends in the region that we have still been unable to contact via e-mail. We contiue to pray for the victims' families.

It is just terrible. I can't even imagine what tremendous pain these people are suffering - both physically and emotionally.

Is that not just the scariest! And it covered such a large mass of area (land).

Many prayers for them.
