When a 8.2° Richter earthquake hits an area, it does not recover in a week or so. Or even a month or so. A city or town can take years to recover from such a disaster. The question for those desirous of helping is…how can we help in meaningful, strategic ways? Several ways we’ve attempted …
We’re in Puebla this Sunday, visiting Chalo and Beth Sandoval’s latest church plant, Maranatha Bible Church.
