Please pray for Chile, where more than 100 people have been killed by fires in Valparaíso Province. Remember all those who have lost loved ones, those whose homes have been destroyed and all those who have had to flee.

Local partner Gabriel Parra and his family, who live in the city of Valparaíso, are safe but have been supporting people who have lost family members. Pray for rest and renewal for them and for the churches in the region.

Chile also lost former President Sebastián Piñera in a helicopter crash this week. Mission partner Alf Cooper was his presidential chaplain from 2010–2013 and paid tribute to him describing his genuine faith clearly shown during the rescue of the 33 miners. Alf asks us to join him in prayers for the family at this difficult time.
