Some of you may have seen in World News about the volcano that has been erupting here in Ecuador. The volcano is called Tungurahua - which means "Throat of Fire" in the Quechua language. It's located about four hours south of Quito where we live. The volcano has been erupting the past couple of days and the people living in the area have been evacuated. We saw on the ecuadorian news tonight that some people refuse to evacuate . . . they just don't want to leave their homes, livestock and all that they have in this world. Extreme Response will probably be doing some relief effort once it's safe to go into the area again. Pray that God will give us wisdom as to know who to help as well as how to help.
If you want to read more about the volcano, I found this news link on yahoo news. And here are a couple of photos from the Ecuadorian newspaper (on-line).
