CENTRAL AMERICA

Evangelical churches and schools are temporarily housing more than 70,000 people who have been left homeless as the result of massive flooding and landslides left by Hurricane Stan. More than 2,000 people died when Stan slammed into El Salvador, Guatemala and southern Mexico in early October. Rains from the hurricane also caused flooding in Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica. Churches have been providing shelter, food and supplies to others in need.
