Prayers for Australia // YFCI Members Speaking Out

Australian Bush Fires

Prayers for the Victims

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Email

Hello,

My name is Ash and I just wanted to ask that the YFCI community keep the residents of Victoria, Australia in their minds during this times of crisis.

Bushfires have been sweeping across both NSW and Victoria claiming over 700 homes and a confirmed 84 lives. More lives are suspected to be found lost as emergency service workers make their way through the rubble. Fires are still ablaze now and many people are grieving over the loss of numerous friends and family members.

Friends, children, wives, Husbands, Fathers and Mothers have been lost and the uncovering of more tragedy is looming. I would like to ask the YFCI community to keep these people in their thoughts and prayers.

Thanks a bunch,
Ash
