Dear Brother P,

Many thanks for your care and concern about our safety since the earthquake took place. Praise the Lord, all brethren and sisters of our church in this city passed through the earthquake by faith, without any death or injury.

Our city is about 380 kilometers (240 miles) away from the epicenter. Yesterday, about 2:30 p.m., our family was having our lunch when we suddenly felt the building start shaking. The floor was wobbling like a boat in a storm. I knew it was an earthquake. I told my family to stop eating and to immediately go downstairs from the seventh story, where we live. As we went down the stairs, we cried out "Lord Jesus save us." Praise the Lord that my whole family, including my grandma of 102 years old, got down to the street safely.

Then I took out my cell phone and started to call the brethren and sisters of our church, but the mobile communication system was broken until 5:00 p.m. All brethren and sisters of our church and their families are safe. They told me when the earthquake took place, none of them was panicky. And when they got onto the street, they all kneeled down to pray. They immediately recalled Brother Branham’s sermon, "Recognize Your Day And It’s Message," which we had studied the week before.

Our city had also experienced flooding in the summer of 2003 and the summer of 2004. During those times, buses were replaced by boats in our city and some 200 people died. However, our church never stopped our regular meetings during that time. Likewise, we believe we won’t stop our regular meetings because of this earthquake. For when disaster comes, God is our refuge. There shall no evil befall us, neither shall any plague come nigh our dwelling. (Psalms 91)

Dear Brother P, you asked if we need any help for food or supplies. No. We don’t need that. We just need more of Brother Branham’s books and tapes.

Please convey our gratitude and greetings to all saints of your church.

God bless you all.

Brother L
God bless
