Mexico Earthquake Relief
10/22/2017 .When an 8.1 earthquake hit southern Mexico on September 8, Pastor Hector Tamez of Saddleback Puebla, and Raul Roque from Saddleback Lake Forest, immediately flew to the quake-torn areas of Oaxaca and Chiapas. There they met with pastors from Saddleback’s partner churches to asses the damage and needs of the community. Today, our Saddleback Relief efforts are helping rebuild three of our largest partner churches that were shaken by Mexico’s strongest earthquake in a century.
Only days after the earthquake in Southern Mexico, Saddleback Puebla itself was rocked by a 7.1 earthquake on September 19. Saddleback Puebla members responded immediately in their own community by visiting two neighboring towns where churches were nearly flattened.
Over the next few weeks, our Saddleback Relief teams will help rebuild several partner churches in these affected areas—and in turn, they will help carry other churches for years to come.
