World Emergency Relief ( WER ) and Rescue Task Force
( RTF ) are responding to the 7.1 earthquake that struck Honduras at 2:20 AM this morning.

Team Leader Andrea Stone will depart from Los Angeles tonight and fly to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras where she will meet with RTF team member Jim McNeely, coming from Atlanta. Upon arrival they will meet with our Honduras coordinator, Dr. Claudio Casas who is assembling a local team of Honduran doctors and volunteers – veterans of many RTF jungle missions.

The orphanage that WER has supported has sustained heavy damage to the dormitory. Thirty-six of our orphans have been moved into the office and the dining area.

Jose, our local warehouseman, lost his home in the devasting earthquake. He, his wife and baby are the first of probably many to move into our WER warehouse.

Mission details to follow as the day progresses. We are in contact with colleagues at the Fire Department in Honduras. The WER/RTF team will be coordinating disaster relief activities with them to help in isolated areas that the Fire department will not be able to immediately assist.

We need help!!! This emergency plea for help is from our friends in Honduras of so many years. We are responding on faith, so please help today to send emergency supplies to these innocent victims.
