Rich and Kirsten Root - Living Water Missionaries in the Dominican Republic

You may be wondering how the Root family is doing.  Here is a brief update they sent a few days after the earthquake.  They are currently working with other Foursquare Missionaries to mobilize relief efforts.  You can follow the Roots here.

Hello all !
 
I just wanted to send a quick update to let you know that yes, we are all ok down here! We did feel the quake but thankfully that is where it ended... Many have asked about how to help and we are in the process of figuring that out.  Our supervisor will probably be making a trip in the next day or so to assess how we can best be of help...
Thank you for all your prayers! Please continue to lift all those there up, they need it. It is a country already afflicted by so many things. Please pray against any other quakes, that one was just a little too close for comfort. 
 
Love, Kirsten and family!!
