Shane Engel • September 19, 2017

Magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocks Mexico City and nearby areas.

A powerful earthquake jolted central Mexico today (Tuesday, September 19, 2017). The earthquake buckled buildings, cracked foundations and brought rubble down on all sides of Mexico City. The U.S. Geological Survey has said the quake had magnitude 7.1 and was centered near Puebla. At this time dozens of people are reported dead and many are hurt and missing. We have local chapter partners and church leaders that we have been able to make contact with, but your prayers are needed more than ever.
