Urgent Prayer: YWAM Perth

Sunday, December 18, 2005

We just received this email from our friend Adriel McIntosh requesting prayer for a horrible accident which occurred in Nigeria.

A team of Mother and Child Health workers (midwives) have been involved in a tragic road accident outside Port Harcourt, Nigeria where they have been on outreach delivering babies.

Ten girls (of 14 on the team) left in the morning of Sunday, 11 December from Port Harcourt to attend Sunday service with other local YWAMers. Eight YWAMers were killed, six were with YWAM Nigeria and two were from YWAM Perth. There were seven others injured from YWAM Perth with three still in critical condition.

Prayer is being requested for:

Prayer for the family members of the deceased.
Pray for the injured.
Pray for arrangements necessary to ensure the best possible care for the injured and those who are deceased.
Please pray for YWAM Nigeria and YWAM Perth.

More information may be found on YWAM Perth's site.

Thank you for your prayers
