Pictured Above is the back side of our Victória de Jesús
school in Iquitos.
1. The Dec. 20, 2012
fire from a propane tank explosion has left our school with smoke and heat
damage and no plumbing. The community thought that two children died, but thankfully they were found the next day.
2. About 1000 people have been displaced and are using our church and school as the relief centers. Our LACC school
is feeding the community with the food from the feeding program and displaced
families are staying in the church and school.
3. The biggest needs are food, a place to sleep/live and clothing. We do a feeding program at the school, so the members of the church are now using it to feed the community. There is no gas, water or electricity in the community, so they are cooking the food over the wood scraps from homes.
The rainy season has begun and the area is
flooding causing even more hardship. Rebuilding this community will begin in a
few months after the waters subside.
Many have asked how they can help...

Pictured Below is the Victória
de Jesús school during rainy season. These families live on less than $1/day and
have lost their homes and everything that was in them.
May
the Lord turn their ashes into
something beautiful that
gives Him glory!
