Wednesday Williamsburg Report

Wednesday morning our 3 groups went out to their designated areas of ministry.  The warehouse group continued to work on Jean's house, the mountain house crew finished their project on Vera's house, and the group working in town came close to finishing the Shupe's house.  Another group finished putting food boxes together and delivered them across the county.  It was a very productful day but there is still a lot to be done!

Yesterday around 3 pm Melanie (the director of the warehouse) called us to the sanctuary to pray.  A church bus had been in a wreck and she just knew it had to be the group staying at the warehouse and working alongside us.  Upon arrival at the scene, we found out that it was indeed Belmont Baptist Church out of Georgia.  The group was returning to the warehouse from mission work at a local middle school when a semi truck hit them on a curvy road.  Of the 13 passengers, only two were critically injured--the pastor and his wife.  When Cathy Hancock arrived at the scene she said that all the youth were gathered on the side of the road praying and singing praise and worship, lead by the two daughters of the pastor and his wife--what a witness!

Last night Terry and Lois (the pastor and his wife) were airlifted to UK.  Terry's legs were crushed and he went into surgery this morning.  Lois may have broken her hip and is currently waiting to have surgery.

It was neat to see the churches and community bond together and lift this group up in prayer!

Please pray for Terry and Lois Taphouse and their children!  Pray for the kids who are understandably tramautized from this accident.
