Union University Update

February 7, 2008

Union is going to begin cleanup today. They’ve added a slideshow of photos to their emergency web page, which you can view here. One of the boys who attended high school with Rachel attends Union and was only able to rescue his guitar. So do continue to pray for those folk- it will be a lengthy recovery.

A tornado went through the area and trapped 12 students in their dorm at Union overnight. Pray for the school and the community- and others across the South, where 27 have died in storms.

UPDATE: Many more across the South have died. And a blog on Baptist Press has the latest information from Union. The Union website is down at present as well- so no direct information is available. Much more information is available here.

UPDATE II: If you would like to help out, you can find details here.

President Dockery has posted a note to those interested in the events at Union.  Read it here.

Another Prayer Request

February 4, 2008

Please pray for Randy Maxwell. He was the Pastor of South Harriman Baptist and his last Sunday was January 27th. Pray for the Church too.  Pray for the now 14 churches in our Association without Pastors.

Prayer Request

February 1, 2008

This email arrived today:

We have a very urgent prayer request for a 2 ½ month old baby named Landon Ariks. He is the son of Chris and Jessica Ariks. Jessica lost their first child just over a year ago. Mom and Dad are really struggling to make sense of all of this. Landon is also the grandson of Ronnie and Rhonda Nickel. Ronnie is the pastor of the Union Chapel Baptist Church in Roane County, TN. Landon is fighting for his life and needs the prayers of every believer who will not only pray for him but encourage others to pray for him as well. Please feel free to pass this along to your prayer partners.

Do pray for the family, and the baby.

UPDATE:

Please continue to remember Ronnie Nickle and his family as they now may soon be faced with the decision of discontinuing life support on his little 3 month old grandson, Landon Ariks.

UPDATE II: The baby was placed on life support this morning.

UPDATE III:  Landon Ariks died about 11:30 pm Thursday, January 31, 2008.
