If God is leading you to participate in the relief effort with SAMS, you may give through our World Relief Fund. You may give online to our “World Relief Fund - Chile.” Or if you give by check, please put in the memo section of your check: “World Relief – Chile.” Also I encourage you to pray for Bishop Tito Zavala and our missionaries Chris Feuillade (who will be returning soon to Santiago) and Russ, Heidi, Joyanne and Jocelyn Smith (who are all well in Santiago). May the peace and comfort of the Lord be with all who are walking through this tragedy.
