Hualien Earthquake Report on Affected Saints – April 3, 2024 I.
Saints with Personal Injuries: Approximately ten saints suffered injuries from falling objects, being crushed by cabinets, or experiencing severe shock. All have received medical treatment and have been discharged from the hospital. The remaining saints are generally safe. II. Damage to Saints’ Homes: Following the earthquake, the ten-story Tonghua Building adjacent to the Hualien meeting hall showed exposed steel bars in the first-floor pillars, raising concerns about it being deemed unsafe. The site has been cordoned off and access is restricted. The entire second floor of approximately 200 ping (around 660 square meters) belongs to the church. More than ten households above the third floor are privately owned by saints. Additionally, there is a collapsed and tilted Uranus Building, with one unit owned by a saint. III. Current Situation: Around 20 households totaling over 40 saints are currently homeless and have been temporarily placed in the homes of other saints, the meeting hall, charity shelters, or government shelters. This report is to inform the brothers in the gospel work about the situation of the saints affected by the Hualien earthquake on April 3rd. May the Lord keep and remember them!
