Prayer

You may have heard about the fires burning in Aarizona, there are two, both human caused. They were about 8 miles apart but now have merged. This has already burned three small towns in North Eastern Arizona.. This area is primarily made up of retirement folks with a mix of people who have summer homes there…and then families who have lived there all of their lives. Tonight…they had to evacuate the entire town of Showlow…this amounts to 30,000 people who had to leave their homes…not knowing when they will be allowed to return…or if they will have anything to return to. Yesterday, one of the Chiefs from the Navajo Reservation made an announcement that their people will begin to do their rain dances around the clock….as this is about the only thing that will save that part of our state. At the present time, 160,000 acres have burned. If you wouldn’t mind, do you think you could send a letter out to those people that you know who would please pray with us about this fire? Prayer and a miracle is what we need now. Also, we aren’t just talking about people who are in that area….but animals…hundreds of horses and farm animals as well as the people who had their house pets. The big race track down here in Phoenix sent horse trailers up to try and rescue some of the horses…and will house them at the track FREE all summer long… The Humane Society has already run out of space for the cats and dogs..now people here in Phx. are taking them into their own homes. The patients from the hospitals and nursing homes had to be transferred to Phoenix…it must be very frightening for those folks. It is totally impossible to get into the town of Showlow as all the roads leading into and out of are closed… I sat here tonight thinking about the magnitude of what is happening and we are only talking about a town of 30,000 just think how it would have been if the town had been a larger one. I think about ALL the businesses that had to just close and lock up….and then leave town…PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS AND PASS ON TO FRIENDS AND PRAYER GROUPS IF YOU GET A CHANCE
