BAPTISTS DEVASTATED BY CHILE QUAKE
Baptists in the South American country of Chile have been devastated by a massive
earthquake that struck that country on February 27.
The 8.8 temblor, one of the strongest in recorded history, destroyed 250 Baptist churches that are
affiliated with the Union of Evangelical Baptist Churches of Chile (UBACH), one of two Baptist World
Alliance (BWA) member bodies in the country.
“All the Baptist churches in the disaster zone were either badly damaged or destroyed,” Raquel
Contreras, president of UBACH, told the BWA. “There are pastors living in tents,” she said. “Many
Baptist members lost everything.”
