It was a 6.1 magnitude earthquake in the lower southwest part of the Sichuan province. Chongqing, where we are going, used to be part of the Sichuan province until the Three Gorges Dam project when they decided to break that section off into its own municipality. However, from looking at the map it would seem that the earthquake area was about 400 miles away from the Chongqing area.
I would ask that everyone specifically be praying that there are no earthquakes/aftershocks in this region till after we leave. And of course be praying too for the people in China that have been so hard hit by all the earthquakes in the past few months.
