Hope Channel To Assist Adventist Members Affected by Peru Earthquake

On August 15, 2007, a 8.0 magnitude earthquake slammed the coast of Peru, 90 miles southeast of the capital, Lima. Over 400 Adventist homes have been destroyed, including our local churches and the college. Among those dead is an ex pastor in Sairitupac and a mother.

Hope Channel has received a special appeal from Pastor Luis Barba to assist our brothers and sisters. He writes, “We are providing food, temporary housing, and clothing
we thank you in advance for your help in these moments of hurt and suffering
we need your prayers.”

Hope Channel is accepting donations now. Call 1-888-4-HopeTV (888-446-7388) to donate via the telephone.
