Pray & Give: Harvest Georgetown
The La Soufriere volcano on St. Vincent Island, which has been silent for over 40 years, began erupting on Friday morning, April 8 and has continued erupting several times since then – sending ash into the air that is dangerous, especially for those in the northern part of the island. Georgetown is located in this northern region on the island and many people from Harvest Georgetown have been impacted. Georgetown and other areas in the northern part of the island, or “red zone”, have been evacuated and people have been either moved off of the island or to shelters in the more southern regions.
UPDATES from Pastor Miché
4/19/21:
Please pray for Harvest Georgetown as there was another explosive eruption of La Soufriere on Sunday. Ongoing eruptions will make the long-term relief efforts more complex as people continue to be displaced from their homes and communities.4/16/21:
Another eruption happened today. Please pray for the clean up efforts which have begun in Georgetown. Also, pray for safety of the citizens as some looting has begun.4/15/21:
The Harvest Georgetown team is visiting people to help put together a short term relief plan. There is still no power and water shortages seem probable. More evacuations are taking place today. Today, please pray for us as we are taking supplies to a family in the yellow zone.4/13/21:
Spent yesterday delivering small food packages and other items to shelters including water bottles and other items. Please pray for health concerns as we are exposed to the ash and COVID-19. Pray for God’s protection.4/12/21:
Another big explosion and still no water.4/11/21:
We got some rain, in a very small quantity. Not enough to clean up the roads. We had two more eruptions last night, with lightning and thunder. We have not had water since Friday (4/9), many areas are without electricity. Drinking water is a big issue right now. Some areas got water for two hours but can only be used to flush toilets. The scientists predict more eruptions to come.
