On June 24, 2026, an earthquake struck La Guaira, Venezuela, leaving many families facing loss, grief, and uncertainty.
Moved with Compassion, One More Child stepped in to provide tangible help, relief, and hope.
In partnership with the First Baptist Church of Cúcuta in Colombia, our team traveled to Venezuela to serve those whose lives changed forever from this earthquake, delivering supplies, visiting families, and sharing the love of Jesus.
A team member shared the following testimony with us:
The First Baptist Church of Cúcuta, in partnership with Un Niño Más — One More Child, envisioned and worked to bring much more than just humanitarian aid. We wanted to bring hope. We wanted to bring the love of Christ.
[In Catia La Mar, Venezuela], we found a shelter with approximately 61 families living in tents. We went there not just to deliver supplies. We went to listen, to embrace, to pray, and to share the Word of God. The children sang, learned from the Bible, participated in activities, and received a snack. While they were there, we were also able to reach out to their mothers, listen to them, and spend time with them. We brought hygiene kits, diapers, and food for the children— but [we also brought] something else that touched our hearts deeply: letters written by families from the First Baptist Church of Cúcuta and the One More Child sponsorship program.
Words that crossed a border to tell them: “You are not alone.”
On Saturday, we arrived in Caraballeda. There, we once again shared the Gospel with children and adults and distributed shoes, diapers, hygiene kits, and snacks. We also visited another shelter where several families were living in school classrooms after losing their homes during the earthquake. Once again, we were able to serve, listen, and proclaim Christ.
And upon returning to Caracas, God allowed us to also minister to Venezuelan women and the Chinese community at the Chinese Baptist Church.
They were intense days: days of service, days of tears and smiles, days when we saw that Christ’s love can cross borders. We returned home at the end of August, but we didn’t return the same. Because when God allows us to see the pain of others up close, He also reminds us of our mission: to proclaim Christ, serve those in need, and bring hope to those who are suffering.
I thank God for every person who prayed, for every church, for every donor, for every brother and sister who made this mission possible.
What we carried in our hands were supplies. But what we wanted to leave in every heart was much greater: the hope that we find only in Jesus Christ. Because the love of Christ knows no borders.
