Urgent Prayer Request for Secrest Family - Ms in Uruguay
November 14, 2008 – 1:37 pmThe following is a blog post concerning the Secrest family, missionaries in Uruguay. Please uphold their family and church in prayer during this difficult situation. Specifically, we ought to pray that God is glorified and people are drawn to Him.
Dear Brethren:For those of you who don´t know (and to fill in details for those of you who do), our family along with three others from the church were involved in an automobile accident on our way home from the Sunday evening service here. At approximately 9:15 pm our time, we were finishing up with the transportaton [sic] of those who attended the church service. We were traveling toward a T intersection, ready to enter Route 67 about three blocks from our home.
Barry applied the brakes with absolutely no result. As we entered the route, two motorcycles passed in front of our van, narrowly missing collision. Slowing down some with the help of the emergency breke, Barry executed a wider left turn onto the route in hopes of avoiding turn over. The right two tires, however, went off the pavement onto the gravel shoulder. The surface of the shoulder was several inches lower than the road and the police say that contributed to the turn over of the van. We made two quarter turns and the van ended up on its roof. Being an older van, the metal was very solid and there was very little compression of the chassy.
