I think I heard somebody once say that life is that thing that happens when you're making plans. I guess it's true. Over the weekend Susan and I were in Columbus, GA, spending time with the
Chattahoochee Valley Church, we had a great time there. There are so many nice people there and we were just so encouraged by our visit with them. While we were there on Sunday they had a planned a BBQ fellowship for us after church. When church ended people began preparing the food areas and getting everything ready, when a call came in from some of the teens saying that there had been an accident. The youth group had been on a retreat and were on their way home when the Suburban that Landon Smith (the youth minister) was driving, flipped.
I know you've heard this story before, although this time the ending isn't an unhappy one. Everyone was OK. Three people went to the hospital with injuries, but God worked a miracle in that no one died. I ask for your prayers for the following people:
The CVC youth group.
Landon Smith
Kendell Hubbuch
Hannah Bowden
God is an amazing God, who still performs miracles everyday! I believe that. It isn't a coincidence that no one passed in this accident. It is because God is working. On the other hand Landon Smith has been the youth minister at CVC for about 6 months, he is doing an awesome job and Satan knows it. Please lift this church and these people up to the Father, that Satan will flee them. Pray for blessing, healing and strength.
Have a great day!
