We receive reports daily about the huge wildfires burning in Colorado and elsewhere in the United States (click here for a recent report). Here are updates on some GCI members and friends that are affected:
- Cliff and Mary Snyder live near the wildfires in the Fort Collins, Colorado area. They had to evacuate their home but, thank God, so far their property has not been damaged.
- Dennis and Lorraine Pelley, and Kelvin and Karen (Pelley) Langford live near the fires burning in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area. They remain in their homes, but report that the smoke is awful and they must stay inside to breathe.
- Hal and Ella Marie Schatz report that their daughter Christen and her son David who live in Colorado Springs are safe, but have been told to evacuate their home.
Please pray for these families and others in harm’s way. And also please pray for the thousands of evacuees and the firefighters in Colorado and elsewhere.
Praying for affected members and folks in general in view of the unusual early dryness. Hazel’s sister Lucy lives near Walden and the drought is affecting their ranch operations quite severely. Fires continue to break out in the dry west while Minnesota and Florida flood.
Prayers for all those affected by the wildfire in Colorado Springs. May the Lord put a hedge around them for protection and safety.
