Update: 04/04/10 at 4:55 p.m.

We received word from some of our staff currently in Mexicali that everyone is fine. Power is out at camp, and cell phone usage is spotty at the moment, so if you are trying to reach anyone at the camp, please be patient; it make take some time to get through. Again, everything appears to be fine at this point and staff are checking in with all teams. Praise the Lord. Please keep all those in Mexicali in your prayers during this second week of service.

Mexico Outreach Earthquake Update April 4th, 2010, 4:35pm
April 4, 2010

Over 1,000 team members from 29 churches are currently participating in Mexico Outreach in Mexicali, Mexico. We've experienced a 6.9 earthquake with an epicenter about one hour away.

There continues to be many smaller after shocks, but so far everyone is ok. We are in the process of confirming that all the teams around the city and in the valley are ok. Base camp has lost some power, and cell services are not all working.

We'll continue to update you as we find out more information. In summary, everyone in camp is ok, and we are still confirming that all our teams are ok around the city.

Today, just before 4 p.m., a 6.9 magnitude earthquake centered in Mexicali could be felt throughout Southern California. APU’s Azusa campus was not damaged.

We are checking in with staff and teams currently in Mexicali for Mexico Outreach.
