Hey all,
I come asking for some hardcore prayer for the kids in the community where I volunteer as a youth worker. Last Sunday, we learned that two students from the local high school (CASHS- Chambersburg Area Senior High School) had been involved in a car accident. Both were in serious condition.
As the week progressed, we found out that it was a guy and girl, they had been ejected from a jeep when it flipped off the road after the girl had lost control of the vehicle. Neither was wearing their seatbelt. They were both lifeflighted to two different hospitals. The boy is still in the hospital with a bunch of broken bones, but is expected to make a full recovery. After fighting all week, on Friday morning, the girl (her name was Sarah) was pronounced brain dead. Her parents pulled the plug that afternoon, and she passed away.
Many of the students I work with knew these two in some capacity, especially those students in leadership, who are the ones I work with most closely. I have been talking to a couple of them, and they are crushed.
So, I come to you guys. First, and most importantly, I do not know whether or not Sarah knew our Lord, but I hope she did. Please pray for Sarah's family in this time of grief and heartache. Second, pray for the students that go to CASHS that are affected by this tragedy. Third, pray for all of the youth workers at all of the churches (including me), that we have the strength and that God gives us the words to say and to impart the comfort only He can give.
Thanks guys,
Marti
