pray
for
Zephaniah, one of the senior
evangelists, whose house has been completely
destroyed in a fire.
Praise
God that no one was injured, but he and his
wife have lost all their possessions.
Pray
for the family as they come to terms with
their situation. The day before the fire had
been a joyful occasion, as
Zephaniah’s
eldest daughter was married from that very
house.
