Hi N., thanks for your call yesterday. Thanks for all your concern and pr-s.

 

As you know, we experienced a magnitude 4.3 earthquake yesterday at about

11.30 am. I was teaching at that time, and there was some initial panic when all the students rushed to the door after feeling the shakes, but later on all students and staff (including those of Moonbeam) were safely evacuated to the football field.

 

Because the epicentre was in ZJ, the county govt was very concerned. All of yesterday afternoon, no one was allowed back in the buildings or the dorms.

Students were only allowed to go to the canteen for meals, and to go back to their rooms to get more clothes because it started raining rather heavily.

Last night, all students were moved to the 2nd and 3rd floors and there was a teacher in each room to look after them. Teachers in the 3rd-6th floors were moved to the guest rooms on the ground floor. All the gates were opened to allow for quick evacuation in case of aftershocks.

 

This morning all felt better and are less worried. The director talked to the students to reassure them that all is ok, and sent them home for now.

Classes will resume on 20 Oct.

 

We are ok in the town area but we heard that 17 houses in the villages have collapsed. Please remember the victims and their families, and the hospital staff caring for them.

 

The team feels safe in His care. Stephen (7 years old) said that when the earthquake happened, many of the children were very scared in his school.

When asked if he was scared he said no, because he has Ye-su. PTL!

 

Thanks again for standing with us.

Dear Cindy,

Thanks for letting us know the news. 

May our heavenly Father protect the long-term workers in ZJ and also our students and their families, and the many families affected by the earthquake in His mighty hands. Let's keep them in our prayers and ask the peace from our Father be with them particularly in these days. 

In Him,

John
