The document summarizes the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Sichuan province, China in May 2008. It killed over 50,000 people and left many more homeless as buildings, bridges and roads collapsed. The earthquake destroyed schools while they were filled with children, trapping and burying many students and teachers under the rubble. Survivors were left grieving for their lost loved ones and pleading for help to rescue those still trapped under the debris. The document calls for prayers for China, the rescue workers, and for comfort and reconstruction in the aftermath of the disaster.
