I don't know if y'all ever read this, but I have to try. I am an Aggie, Class of '99, and I've experienced something today that I pray no one ever experiences. Yet from an eternal perspective the Lord has shown me so many amazing things today --He is so victorious! We have been up at bonfire site praying since 5 this morning and didn't stop until around 9, after the prayer meeting where thousands showed up praying and praising, and the 7:00 memorial service with 17,000 people who, after the ceremony was over, all joined arm and arm and sang "Amazing Grace." God is definitely getting glory in this, but not without a large amount of refining on our campus. Please keep our campus in your prayers. I've put down some specific prayers that we have been praying all day if you are interested in interceeding with us. If you could pass this on to anyone that you can, any prayer chains or services you know of, please help us cover these people in prayer!

Specific prayer requests:

• that the families would be covered with love
• that everyone that knew them would not feel the bitterness that we know they will feel but that they would RUN TO GOD with their confusion and anger
• that the people that saw their friends die in their arms or when they were jumping off stack would have their minds guarded and that satan would not have room to move in on their minds but that God would get glory from it
• that the rescue crews who have been working since 3 a.m. would be guarded because they have seen some absolutely terrible things today
• that all the believers would SHINE SHINE SHINE and share Christ's love
• that we would use this opportunity to evangelize
• that satan would not be putting guilt in these aggie's hearts, any aggies that just got off the stack thinking "why wasn't it me instead?" or even or the people who made the center pole (a company an hour away) feeling that somehow it was their fault = guarded from the lies!
• that the media would be touched by this, that people seeing the news broadcasts would want to know more about the hope that we have by seeing s, that they would see the truth in this situation and that they would see God instead of any anger or confusion
• that ABOVE ALL GOD RECEIVE GLORY FROM THIS!!!!

Thank you so much and God bless you and your ministry for serving our Lord Jesus Christ!
