Thanks to many of you who have inquired about how Dean affected the Mission District. While the potential for damage and loss of life was great with this hurricane, we thank the Lord that there have been no deaths reported in Mexico to this point. Many have lost homes and flooding continues to be a problem but none of our churches were directly affected.
Here is a brief report from Pastor Ruben in the Campeche church...
"Hurricane Dean slammed into our state on Tuesday August 21 around 2 PM with all of his strength. By the mercy of our God, in answer to many prayers, it had slowed down to a category 1 hurricane (with 160 KM/h winds). The church building served as a refuge for one family, Jessica's family, that lives nearby- Jessica is a faithful girl, in spite of only being 10 years old and coming from a non-Christian family. We hope in God that this help they have received from the church will help them to come near to God.
There has been no loss of life associated with this hurricane, according to our Governor, although many trees have fallen, but nothing dangerous.
Today I plan visit our brothers who are fishermen, to see how they and their boats are, even though there has been no bad news.
In general, we are very well, we were without electricity for 7 hours, but all is well now.
Please continue to pray for us,
May God continue to bless you,
Pastor Ruben Cupul
Campeche, Mexico"
