A young injured soldier needs prayers!


A very dear and special friend of mine,B's, son was injured in Afghanistan on 10/3. Please pray for him and his family and for his unit!

D was injured in a mortar attack this past evening. Both legs were badly injured. He said he has holes in both legs and his right leg and foot are broken. They had to reattach a few of his toes. So there is a chance he may loose them. He did have a head injury, but he said he didn't think it was bad. He said there was so much blood on his face that he thought he was blind. How scary that must have been!

He is being sent to Germany sometime today. I'm not sure how the process will go. I'm sure they will re-evaluate his injuries in Germany before they decide when he can come home. I will send out another update as I get more information.

Please pray for the remaining soldiers in his unit. They were still under attack when D was evacuated. The Taliban are not letting up. Our soldiers need every bit of support that we can give them.

Here is another link with a couple of pics of D

Your welcome Bev. I'm sorry to hear about the 2 Canadians that died. We'll keep their families in prayer too. Latest news...D is finally on his way to Germany for a short stay, before back to the USA. Thank our LORD!
