Hospital Ministry

We do something here at YWAM Monterrey called, "Hospital Ministry." We load up a cooler full of tacos and bring juice to those at the hospital waiting for loved ones. What frequently happens here is that loved ones often can't afford to travel between home and the hospital if they live outside of Monterrey. So once the visiting hours end at 8:00pm, many of those people stay overnight at the hospital for as many days as it takes for their loved one to be discharged.

This week, I met a man who was a believer, driving a church van when the tire came off. The van went off the road and rolled. There were several passengers in the van, most of whom had seatbelts, however there was one family significantly impacted in this accident. The father of this family was in the front seat and suffered only neck injuries. They had a 2 year-old and an 11 year-old riding with. The 11 year-old was killed on impact. The 2 year-old seemed OK but died on the way to the hospital. The mother suffered internal injuries that resulted in the loss of the baby she was carrying. So this husband and wife lost 3 children in this accident. Please pray for them!

Father, I don't understand how and why these things happen, however I trust that you are in control and ask for you mercy and grace on this husband and wife in this difficult time.
