Just rceived a sobering email

Just received the following email from a friend. She is involved with many folks in her church and send these chain emails. Most of them are interesting and moving. Some are pretty corny. The one below is a mind blower. I thought I would share it with the group.


Subject: Urgent Prayer Request

In a message dated 3/10/2005 9:14:22 PM Central Standard Time,
ymbl2000@yahoo.com <mailto:ymbl2000@yahoo.com> writes:

From: Vicky Field

Subject: My son has been shot in Falujah..

I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad. Today,
Sunday, I got a call from the Army that my son had been
shot in the head. I am asking for all your prayers.
He was in a Humvee going through Falujah fighting and
a gang of militia fighters fired on the Humvee and hit
Chad in the head.

The driver got him out of the city and took him to
Baghdad. He was in fatal condition, but now has been
upgraded to stable critical. His dad and I are on
standby to fly to Washington then on to Germany as
soon as the military calls us to go. The Army is trying
to stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that
time we will leave..

Please pray that my son will not have brain damage and
that he will be restored and healed by the blood of
Jesus, and the grace of God. I ask for you to pass
this prayer request on so there will be many prayer
warriors praying for him.

Thank you so much and I will try to keep you updated
on his condition.

God Bless

Vicky Field
Granbury, Texas

Please pray for this young soldier and please pass
this request along to those who will pray for him

follow-up

I guess the statistics we hear on the news are not just numbers after all.

A prayer to all of our service members who are in harm's way, and also for those who will be and the ones who came back.
