Prayer Request
My sister in AZ posted this on our family’s blog. Please pray for the families of these young men!
“I think most of you have heard me at least mention the Bible college in Tempe, AZ named International Bible College. We have had a couple of their students work in our church for summer internship, and one of the girls from our church goes to school there. Anyway, they had a group of 30 people from the church and school on a trip to the Grand Canyon. Apparently they have done this same trip for several years, but this year there was tragedy. Three of the boys in the group jumped into the Colorado River and were swept away. They have found the body of one boy, 16 years old. His older brother, who was an intern here two summers ago, is missing as well as a 15-year-old boy. It is not at all clear why they jumped into the water, and the search is still on-going for the two still missing. Please pray for the families and the college/church body. I can’t even imagine the grief that they are dealing with. The college’s final exams start next week. I am praying specifically that they find the other two boys. It is hard to believe they could still be alive, but God is still working miracles. I will let you know as I find out more details. There is a page on facebook too with updates and much more information. I think if you search for IBC in Tempe you should find the page.”
