Cali Fire Update

I have a little bit more information about the fire at the Ramate de Sande Invasion on the Cauca River, about 10 miles east of Cali in the neighborhood we know as San Marcos.

The fire destroyed 100-150 homes, or more accurately, "shacks." Among the shacks lost in the fire was the home of the two main leaders of a mission and small school that was recently started in this poor area by the San Marcos Church. The home where the mission and school meet was *not* burned down.

Many of you have sent money to help with relief efforts. The need is great, and if you would like to help you may send a check made out to Board of Missions. Be sure to indicate "for Cali Fire" on the memo line. Send to Board of Missions, 1978 Union Avenue, Memphis, TN 38104. Let them know you've been following this story on our web site.

Thanks for your continued support for the people of Cali.
