Rescued Chilean Miner Praying; Note T-Shirt Jesus Emblem (Photo from BBC News)

Here’s a recent update from our Chilean staff director, Christian Maureira:

“Probably you are watching on TV the rescue of the miners and also maybe you noticed a T-Shirt they are wearing. All those T-Shirts are a gift from Campus Crusade for Christ Chile.
