ECUADOR EARTHQUAKE 16/4/16: Update from Jill

We are still experiencing aftershocks and the death toll has obviously risen. There are teams of volunteer youths going to help extricate bodies from Pedernales. The smell is terrible. Some people who have been brought out alive have lost limbs

We will make sure donations are used to help victims of this earthquake.
The First Baptist Church in Santo Domingo de Los Tsachilas (La Primera Iglesia Bautista ) is a centre for receiving aid which we will distribute to areas not in the headlines, smaller communities, where the main aid agencies are not working.

These are in the province  of Manabi, namely:
Calceta, Junín, Tosagua, Canoa, San Vicente, Chamanga

This is a list of the goods needed

Alcohol
Antibiotics
Saline solution
Non perishable foodstuffs
Items for personal hygiene, such as soap
Toothbrushes and toothpaste
Toilet paper
Plastic cups
Spoons
Disposable plates
Mattresses
Blankets
Cooking facilities
WATER

One of the needs is for cooks to go and prepare food for the relief teams, who are working very hard, and there is no one to give them a meal.

I have been quite ill, with a sudden attack of labyrinthitis, with the most horrible nausea and vertigo, so I could not move. The pastors were called to pray for me and immediately I knew something in the spiritual had been broken. I was able to open my eyes without the room spinning and I am making a steady recovery. I am hoping to be able to go and interpret for some Americans who are coming as a rescue team.

Many thanks in advance

All blessings
