On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes hit Venezuela, devastating the nation and taking over a thousand lives. We ask that you join us in prayer over the country of Venezuela and lift up every family affected. As Gateway works with ministry partners in the affected areas to coordinate response efforts, here’s how you can help right now.*
PRAY
• Pray for God’s comfort to surround the families affected.
• Pray for the ongoing rescue efforts for victims and survivors.
• Pray for clarity over the Venezuelan government, churches, and leadership groups as they navigate this disaster.
• Pray for God’s healing, peace, provision, and restoration for every community impacted.
• Pray for the first responders to have strength as they continue serving their communities.
GIVE
If you’d like to help in a practical way, you can donate to our ministry partners helping those affected by the earthquakes.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. –Proverbs 18:10
