Urgent prayer for earthquake victims!

The CHE Villages of Las Barrancas and Las Granadillas located on the steep slopes of the mountains of the Mam speaking people have been as affected as the larger cities and towns among the West of Guatemala  that the media have reported.

Praises:
1) Under God´s care, no one got seriously injured from the first hit (Nov 7) and the second hit (Nov 11).
2) For those churches and individuals already responding to the call to prayer and to generously give to help the CHE villagers to rebuild their community.
3) Materials for Las Barrancas water system repair have been delivered 2 days ago and they have started working to get water running to fill their distribution tank first then to their homes.
4) For the church and school available to shelter the homeless now.
5) For Felipe and family already moved out of his damaged house and they found a nearer home to borrow temporarily.
6) For the GCE teams in Guatemala have all been spared from damage becoming available to minister to the earthquake victims.

Requests:
Here is the info we have gathered:
Las Barrancas:
--9 families with totally destroyed homes.
--47 families with semi-destroyed homes.
1) Pray for spiritual, emotional and physical strength to overcome this trial.
2) Pray to have them seeing water running to their homes again compared to today´s situation like 30 years ago going to get water at the bottom of the deep canyon.

Las Granadillas:
--9 families with totally destroyed homes
--21 families with semi-destroyed homes.
2) They all need urgent prayer to be comforted and encouraged and recover hope.

4) Pray to have them getting the materials to rebuild their water system and their crops irrigation system to continue to produce income locally.
