A 7-3 earthquake has struck the border region between Iraq and Iran. Shocks were felt in Pakistan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Turkey, Qatar,and areas of Israel. The dead and injury numbers will rise as searches continue.  Currently more than 450 are dead and thousands are injured.

Pray for the dead and injured as well as their family and friends. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts.
