19 Oct Heavy Flooding Affects Caluco Church in El Salvador

Heavy rainfall in El Salvador has caused severe flooding, as rivers overflow and mountain slopes fall apart.

Rev. Gonzalo Alas (right), who heads up our work there, wrote:

“In the Caluco church, where the pastor is Isaiah Reyes, all the brothers have had to leave their homes because the river ran through this place and flooded their homes and the church. The church is now being used to house neighbors from the community.

“We have 17 members of the church people affected, and 81 people in the community are now staying in the church.

“We have some problems regarding food, blankets, and medicine. They are forecasting that rain will continue for the rest of this week.

“The municipal government of Caluco has been providing small grants, but given the extent of the emergency in different places it does not keep up with the needs.

“Please pray for us in this difficult time. If you have opportunity to help us it would be a blessing for these families.”
