At 4:17 a.m. local time on Monday, 6th February 2023, a massive earthquake shook eastern Turkiye and Western Syria. The quake, registering 7.8 on the Richter scale, caused thousands of buildings, including many multi-story residential buildings, to collapse.
Tens of thousands of people died as a result, and Christians in Turkiye’s larger cities report being unable to contact their relatives in the earthquake zone.
A front-line worker reported that one local pastor and his wife, along with their young son, were trapped in a collapsed building. The couple died but their young son survived.
Pray that God will provide a new home and family for this pastor’s young son to settle down in. Pray that God will comfort this young boy as he grieves and mourns the loss of his beloved parents.
Pray for strength, resilience and healing for this young boy, and many others, who are suffering in the aftermath of this devastating earthquake.
