Prayers for the saints...

At my last church, there was an annual mission trip with Honduras Outreach International in the late winter and early spring. This week, a group from Cornerstone UMC in Newnan, GA took the retreat and the group is full of parents of kids that I had the honor of ministering to for 4 years.

Two days into the trip, there was a major accident. The long and the short of it is that the brakes appeared to fail on a vehicle, it went over a ledge and several people lost their lives. The people who are gone were from some other Atlanta area churches. My heart aches for them and their families. In the same accident, several people were injured and hurt and are making their way back to the States to receive medical care. So pray for Karen, Nolen and Frankie, who were all veterans of the trip and were there to share the love of God with the people of the country that have become very dear to them. Let's wrap them in our prayers...
