prayer for a fellow pastor...gone to be with Jesus

I ask all of you today to spend some time in intercessory prayer for a fellow brother in Christ who was tradgically killed this past Sunday. Pastor Kyle Lake of University Baptist Church was electrocuted to death while standing in the baptism tank of his church. Read the official posting from the church here: Many of you might recognize the name of this church, as it is the home church of the David Crowder Band.

The following is a small blurb from the blog of Mark O. from Youth Specialties:

Kyle was in the baptismal tank during the church service, and was somehow electrocuted (it’s a bit unclear how this happened, at this point). he shouted out for help and went under. doctors in the congregation immediately came up to try to help, and kyle was transported to a local hospital. but he didn’t make it — he passed away.

I can't imagine what Kyle's family is going through right now, as well as the entire church family at University Baptist Church. So in your comings and goings for the next little while, lift up Kyle and his family in prayer...that healing will occur, and that through the life Kyle lived...many will come to know Jesus as their personal Lord & Saviour.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Ty
