Description
On March 7, 2017, a burst canal released El Niño floodwaters across the plain in Chato Chico, Piura, Peru. Jesus Yovera, pastor at the Mennonite Brethren Church in Chato Chico, Peru points to the place on the church wall where water reached its highest point.
Mennonite World Conference (MWC) is facilitating interdependent disaster response with all Anabaptist partners to support the Peruvian Mennonite Brethren church help their members and their communities.
MWC brought together MB Mission, Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and International Community of Mennonite Brethren (ICOMB) to form a steering committee resulting in the appointment of Antony Sanchez as disaster coordinator for a six-month inter-Mennonite response, jointly funded by MCC and MB Mission.
