| <td width="75%"> ARMENIA, Colombia -- On January 25, 1999, an earthquake | |
| measuring 6.0 on the Richter Scale destroyed the Colombian cities of Armenia, Claraca, and | |
| Pereira. Preliminary figures indicate that over 900 people have died and more than 3,500 | |
| are injured. Hundreds of thousands of people are still homeless. These figures continue to | |
| rise daily with the discovery of more victims from within the rubble.<br> | |
| The Government of Colombia has requested assistance from the | |
| international community including relief organizations such as MAP International .The | |
| extreme need for emergency medical assistance is critical. The provision of appropriate | |
| medicines and supplies is essential for saving the lives of many and stabilizing the | |
| health of thousands of injured Colombians.<br> | |
| MAP International relief workers immediately began preparing tons of | |
| essential medicines and medical supplies for flights into the areas of most destruction. | |
| In partnership with Colombian NGOs and a number of other U.S. Christian relief agencies, | |
| MAP is providing nearly $750,000 worth of valuable medicines and supplies for ongoing | |
| medical relief efforts.<br> | |
| Only through the continued support of friends like you can we respond | |
| to emergencies in Colombia and throughout the world.</td> | |

| </small></strong>ANCHAYACU, Ecuador -- In an ambitious and groundbreaking project, MAP | |
| International is planting a chain of pharmacies deep in the remote Ecuadorian coastal | |
| jungle. As port of the Emeraldas Province Project, the "satellite | |
| mini-pharmacies" will be supplied with medicines by a mobile health unit traveling up | |
| the Onzole and Cayapas Rivers. The pharmacies will serve approximately 5,000 people in 15 | |
| Indian communities.<br> | |
| The jungle pharmacy network has evangelistic, as well as humanitarian | |
| goals. Missionaries in the province hope to use MAP's medical outreach to open doors for | |
| the message of spiritual healing found only in Jesus Christ.<br> | |
| The Anchayacu Indians suffer from a multitude of health problems, | |
| including diarrhea (caused by improper sanitation and contaminated drinking water), | |
| malaria, parasites, snakebites, skin disease, upper respiratory infections, and anemia. | |
| Finding emergency medical help requires a two-hour river trip by motorboat and <em>eight | |
| hours</em> by paddle canoe -- often too far away to save a life by traditional means.<br> | |
| MAP has committed to provide the financial support to keep the | |
| pharmacies stocked with lifesaving medicines, as well as to provide administrative | |
| oversight to measure the progress of this health outreach.<br> | |
| <em>Please pray for adequate funding and spiritual impact for this | |
| project.</em><br> | |
| Through the generosity of friends like you, God is working along these | |
| remote rivers to pour out a flood of physical health and spiritual life</font></td> | |
