More than 36\u202f000 houses were destroyed and 200\u202f000 houses damaged across 16 departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re an interdependent body\u201d says Manuel Mosquera, president and legal representative of the MBs in Choc\u00f3, which is a province on the west coast of Colombia. \u201cOur greatest hope and faith is definitely in God, the Giver of Life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continued aftershocks have worsened the damage and created cracks in places where none were before, says Manuel Mosquera. In addition to the loss of life and damage to homes and infrastructure, the earthquake in Colombia emergency has created needs related to shelter, food, water, health, education, protection, economic recovery and emotional support.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA house is a sanctuary of peace as well as a physical place that provides security. But with natural disasters, it can also turn into our greatest threat. So our best guarantee is to rest in God\u2019s hands, no matter where we live. God is always there to protect us and help us,\u201d says Manuel Mosquera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IHMC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mennonite Brethren have many churches in Choc\u00f3, the region closest to the epicentre. Of the 17 congregations, 12 were affected. Building damage ranges from minor cracks to homes that are completely uninhabitable.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Needs for emergency food and medicine were high in the rural communities in the aftermath. In Valle and Cauca, an MB congregation in northern Cali served as a collection center for food, clothing, and other supplies. It was reported that approximately 250 to 280 food packages were distributed at two locations, including Su\u00e1rez, Cauca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Pereira, a worship space was rendered uninhabitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnother important area of need is post-trauma support, as many people are experiencing emotional stress and fear as a result of what they have been through,\u201d reports ICOMB (International Community of Mennonite Brethren) on behalf of IHMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IMCOL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least six church-owned IMCOL buildings were significantly affected and several homes belonging to church members were damaged.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Manizales, Santa Rosa de Cabal and Cali, a household from each congregation reports having lost belongings and stable housing.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many have damaged homes which are still being assessed.\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to property damage, churches have identified fear, uncertainty about the safety of homes, disruptions to work and education, and the need for psychosocial and pastoral support,\u201d write IMCOL leaders in a report.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IMCOL has formed a team to assess the needs and provide a longer-term response especially to pastoral care needs.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are collecting funds locally and reaching out to international partners, including MWC.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen disaster strikes an MWC member, there is no question that we respond. What that looks like make take different forms; through Global Church Sharing Fund grants, through the mission and development organizations of local or regional member churches,\u201d says C\u00e9sar Garc\u00eda. \u201cAnd your prayers are always a coveted response. Knowing you are not alone in the midst of crisis is powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese shows of help and solidarity are a great demonstration of God\u2019s love that abides in every heart,\u201d wrote Oscar Herrera Rodriguez, Missions Coordinator, IMCOL, in response to MWC\u2019s call to prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-soft-blue-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The churches in Colombia invite you to pray:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For families who have lost their homes, belongings or sources of income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the elderly, girls, boys and families who still feel fear or uncertainty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For those providing pastoral care and participating as volunteers in the relief effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For wisdom to identify the most urgent needs and to use the resources received responsibly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a recovery that will allow for the rebuilding of homes, livelihoods, community ties and hope.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Share your prayers with MWC members in Colombia through the comment box below.\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/commissions\/deacons-commission\/global-church-sharing-fund\/\">Support the Global Church Sharing Fund<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIn the blink of an eye\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the blink of an eye, she saw all her things disappear. So she ran and she looked back and she saw how everything in her house was collapsing,\u201d says Francisco Mosquera from Cali, Colombia. His sister\u2019s apartment building was completely destroyed in the earthquake. For a moment, adult son Luis David feared it had taken his mother Marta Manzano along with their home.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone managed to get out of the building, some more battered than others, but everyone alive.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone managed to get out of the building, some more battered than others, but everyone alive.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once she understood that an earthquake had destroyed everything, the emotional and psychological impact became overwhelming.
