March Change for Change
Earthquake Relief
Providing emergency relief to believers in Central Asia.
On February 6, 2023, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the Turkey-Syria border. Another 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit on February 20, 2023. As of Wednesday, February 22, 2023, the death toll was over 50,000. The devastation in the area is unimaginable.
Churches have been destroyed as well as many homes. A UN commissioner estimates that as many as 5.3 million people may have been left homeless in Syria alone, and the number needing some type of humanitarian aid is even greater. Through two of our trusted partners, we have the unique opportunity to get funds directly to believers in this area who have lost everything, including family members and friends.
March Change for Change giving will go to these two trusted partners, to provide relief to believers in the area. We have direct connections to our trusted partners and know these funds will be well utilized to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ. One of our trusted partners has worked with several Central Asia projects, and the other is a local couple who is serving in the affected countries. Please continue to pray for the many believers impacted by this disaster.
