Baptists help feed evacuees from La Soufrière volcano

Baptists in the Caribbean nation of St. Vincent are working to help feed people who have been evacuated due to the eruption of the island’s La Soufrière volcano.

Some 16,000–20,000 people — one-fifth of the island’s population — were evacuated from the region after the initial eruption on April 9, which spewed a 2-mile-high column of ash.

Pastor Cecil Richards is working with members of his Kingstown Baptist Church to help feed evacuees.
