On December 22nd, thousands of
Seventh-day Adventist Churches from throughout Inter-America will
collect a special offering that will go towards helping thousands of
church members in South Mexico who were severely affected by Tropical
Storm Noel's torrential rains and floods last month. The storm struck
North Chiapas and Tabasco hardest, killing 18 church members and leaving
over 20,000 members homeless. "Never had our church membership been hit
on such a scale of disaster," said Pastor Israel Leito, president of the
church in Inter-America. "It
has been devastating for the general public, but specifically where our
membership’s concerned, it has never been this way anywhere in this
division in recent memory." See
