| Yucatan Christian Radio Station Escapes Damage from Hurricane Dean |
|
Source: Assist News Service As Hurricane Dean made landfall very early Tuesday morning, Aug 21 in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Clive Welsh, a missionary with Saving Grace World Missions in neighboring Belize, reports that Ambergris Caye, the island where he runs Lighthouse Christian Radio Station received very strong winds and rain as the result of the storm. In an e-mail update to ASSIST News, Welsh says, “The Lord was gracious and virtually no damage was done to Lighthouse Christian Radio, the Apartments in San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye!” Welsh says that Dennis Requena, station manager, chose to stay on the island and kept the radio on all night until the electricity went out. “Several local pastors and their families took shelter in the Staff and Guest apartments of Lighthouse Christian Radio,” Welsh writes. In a phone call with a friend in the United States, Welsh reported that some trees were down and there were some huge waves, but very little damage to the radio station (mostly water under the doors), and the station antenna has moved a little. Requena added, “The island is still without electricity, which we hope will be restored shortly so we can resume broadcasting.” |
