Puerto Rico Baptists continue relief work

Two Baptist churches in Puerto Rico — Grace Baptist Church (Iglesia Bautista La Gracia) in Yuaco, and Chiquito River Baptist Church (Iglesia Bautista Rio Chiquito) in Ponce — are feeding and sheltering earthquake survivors as aftershocks continue to fuel fears on the island.

Around 60 people took refuge at each of the two churches following the first of several earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 4.1 to 5.6 that have struck the island since Jan. 10. Other area churches also are assisting in meal preparation for earthquake survivors.

Send Relief, the compassion ministry arm of the North American Mission Board, has been providing generators, food, water and support to those staying at the churches and the volunteers serving them. (BP)
