More Than 41 Thousand Lives Claimed In Earthquake

Feb 16, 2023

Our Partners on the Ground Need Your Help

With every passing day, the number of injuries and deaths rise after the Turkey-Syria earthquake. It has now been 10 days since the earth shook, and we do not know how long they will keep pulling bodies out of the massive amounts of rubble. But miraculously, they are still finding survivors!

With its epicenter in Turkey, the death toll from the Feb. 6 earthquake is now the highest in the country’s modern history.

“There were 35,418 people killed in Turkey, according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,” ABC News reports. “In Syria, the death toll currently stands at 5,801 in both government- and rebel-controlled areas of northwestern Syria, according to combined figures from the Syrian Ministry of Health and the Syrian civil defense and medical group that operates in opposition-held areas.”

As believers in Jesus — who was often moved with compassion for the downtrodden and dregs of society — we must respond to this great need. Let us uplift the suffering in the aftermath of this unprecedented disaster.

Many have lost everything! Children — likely thousands of them — have been orphaned.

Please give generously as LRI’s on-the-ground partners deliver tangible aid, comfort the weary and share the hope of Christ. When you send your gift now ...

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

We look to our Savior and Lord when we are in need. Let’s bring others into His open arms, too.

You can do that by meeting their physical, emotional and spiritual needs through our on-the-ground partners. Put on “compassionate hearts,” as the Apostle Paul encouraged the church in Colossians 3:12.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion today!
