Millions watched the dramatic rescue of the 33 Chilean miners, but only a few got to hear the amazing story firsthand.
In January and February 2011, CMS invited people in the UK to come and hear that story - and the story of the "34th Man" with them - from Jose Henriquez, one of the rescued Chilean miners, known as the "pastor" of the group, and the Rev Alf Cooper, CMS mission partner and Protestant chaplain to the President of Chile.

Jose Henriquez
“Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord…” Psalm 130:1
When disaster struck the 33 Chilean miners in August, one of them, Jose Henriquez, held fast to his faith in Jesus.
Yet, holding onto hope whilst being trapped underground for over two months was a true test of trust.
Jose has been called the pastor or spiritual leader of the Chile miners during their ordeal, during which many of the miners gave their lives to Jesus.
A billion people watched the miners being rescued, but only a few will get to hear Jose tell his story personally.
