20 Years Ago Today: The Boxing Day Earthquake

Welcome to Stories of Hope and Help! On December 26, 2004, a devastating 9.3 M earthquake struck near Sumatra. The resulting tsunami killed 230,000 people in 15 nations surrounding Sumatra. As you listen, ask yourself how you would respond to a disaster of this magnitude? In this episode, we continue our discussion of how Operation Renewed Hope responded to help those in Sumatra and Indonesia who were devastated by the earthquake and tsunami. The island of Nias in norther Sumatra was the focal point of our relief efforts, and as a result a gospel-preaching church was strengthened on Nias.
