Very, Very Urgent Prayer Request

Very, Very Urgent Prayer Request!!!


My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As I enter this post, there are over 20,000 acers on fire here in San Diego County California, that are being driven by Santa Ana winds of up to 85 miles per hour.

The fires are advancing at an unbelieveable rate toward seveal towns and populated areas. There have already been an unknown number of deaths and many serious injuries. There are also many farm and domestic animals involved. The evacuation routes are jamed with people trying to flee.

YOUR PRAYERS ARE UGENTLY NEEED!!!
Your brother in Christ,
Doc

I will pray, Doc! I lived in San Diego for 8 years and know how destructive those fires combined with that Santa Ana wind can be. Praying for the people who live in the areas affected and for the fire-fighters. Lord, give them strength and courage. I pray for the safety of all those who are vulnerable. Lord, have mercy.

Lord give them the strenght to survive and have mercy on them, I pray
