Praying for the Fredricks!

A wonderful friend to Dad, myself & my family, and to many of you - Jon Fredricks (as perhaps you have already heard) was in a car accident along with his eldest daughter, Mary, on Monday the 12th.

While Mary came through only bruised, Jon was pretty badly injured on the left side of his body. Currently he continues with his recovery at Harborview - with additional surgery scheduled Monday where the doctors plan to work on his arm and his jaw.

Yes, he's working hard on his recovery. I was blessed to have the opportunity to see him for a little bit yesterday, and as you can expect... rather than focusing on himself, he asked how I was, and where was I going to church these days. I reminded him that most people I know - if in his condition - would certainly be more focused on themselves instead of others.

His response?

"You need to get in church, John!" Yup, that's Jon... always thinking of others!!

I heard a blog was set-up, so I thought including a link from these pages seemed appropriate given how much Dad cared for Jon, his family, and his ministry.

Please pray hard, read the linked blog for updates on his progress, and prayerfully consider giving financially to help the Fredricks through this difficult time to ensure that Jon and his family have all the resources and care they could possibly need.

Go... Pray... Give!

Pray Hard!
