- Mercy Works, a ministry of Youth With A Mission, plans to send a medical team to Chile from April 1 – April 11. While there the team can expect to be kept very busy helping to care for the sick and injured in Chile.

- YWAM (JOCUM) Pichilemu is launching a Home for Hope rebuilding project. The aim of the project is to help the communities surrounding Pichilemu which were hit especially hard by the earthquake. Most of the homes in the area were not built to withstand earthquakes and many of them crumbled in the initial quake, or the many aftershocks.
- The first phase of the project will be to build 50 free prefabricated homes for families left homeless.
- They are looking for donations and volunteers to help with the rebuilding of the nation and with the homes for hope project.
