Our hearts grieve with the people of Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that struck on June 24. Thousands of lives have been affected, with families mourning loved ones, searching for survivors, and facing the loss of homes and essential resources.
Starting now through July 31, you can contribute to a special disaster-relief fund that will provide emergency relief to Venezuela. We will distribute the funds through a trusted and known church in Caracas, Venezuela, who serves as a key partner to our Spanish-speaking ministry at The Shepherd’s Church. Your gifts will be used to support local church-based relief efforts that provide food, clean water, basic medical care, temporary shelter, and other essential supplies. This partnership enables us to channel support directly through a gospel-centered local church, ensuring that practical aid is accompanied by spiritual encouragement and the message of the gospel.
Please prayerfully consider how God would have you give, and continue to pray for the people of Venezuela, rescue workers, and local churches ministering hope during this tragedy.
