Monday May 12th 2008 ***** A powerful 7.9 earthquake devastated a region of small cities and towns set amid steep hills north of Sichuan's provincial capital of Chengdu. Striking in midafternoon, it emptied office buildings across the country in Beijing and could be felt as far away as Vietnam. Thousands have lost their lives. ******* Today we ask for you to keep these victims of this terrible tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. Please show your support and post your prayers here. Thank You ***** |
