Pastor’s home burns

Prayer is requested for Pastor Gary Dry and his wife Diane. Gary is the pastor of GCI’s congregation in Warrenton, Missouri.

Earlier this week, Gary and Diane’s home burned to the ground after it was struck by lightning during a storm. The family members in the home at the time escaped safely, but the Dry’s dogs and all their possessions were lost. The Red Cross is assisting the Drys, but they are emotionally exhausted.

Gary asks that no one call him at this time, but prayer is definitely needed.
