In the aftermath of the earthquakes in Sichuan provinces, nearly 80,000 have died, and 420,000 homes have collapsed.  The suffering and trauma continues, as nearly 5,000,000 are homeless.  Adding to the pain is the devastation of many families that lost their only child due to China's one child policy.  At 5 Stones Church, we continue to work feverishly in our relief efforts to build a coalition of organizations to mobilize tens of thousands of tents.   For more of a sense of this disaster, click video below, you'll also get a sense for the need for tents.
