The A.C.F. of Sarah Gow Memorial, Victoria West, South Africa went to attend a local B.O.C.E. Convention held at H G Carelse Memorial in Williston. The youths and pastor were involved in a horrific car accident sixteen kilometres outside Carnarvon.

There were countless injuries, but four of the youths are in critical condition one of them will be transferred today to Kimberley hospital.

We solicit your prays and support in our time of need. We would like to thank St Paul’s Carnarvon and H G Carelse Memorial for their swift assistance in our congregations’ darkest hour.

Rev. Legolie, I am so sorry for this terrible accident. I will be praying. I will also put your prayer request on the fifth district prayer chain. We have over 800 members on the fifth district prayer chain.

Please keep us posted and give us and update. God bless you and thank you for letting us know what is going on. We are all family.

We as the Sarah Gow family would like to thank each and everybody for their prayers because it was answered. The four youths in hospital were all discharged. One has internal bleeding that has stabilized, but he goes to hospital everyday for a check-up. The other she lost one finger in the accident and she is contempt and found solace in God. The other two have recovered relatively well.

There is still another bridge to cross, we have been burdened with the financial loss of the vehicle that we used (It is R15 000 about $2 273). So pray for us that we might attain the financial means.

God bless each and everybody.
