The Battle For Pritchard

Hey All,

Be in prayer for my building because were in the midst of the most intense spiritual warfare I’ve ever witnessed. In the past year, there have been 5 separate cases where people have died- the last three have directly involved my dorm, Pritchard Hall.

You all know about last April- we’re all still working through that. The Shootings at NIU brought flashbacks for everyone. The anniversary is just around the corner too.

In November we had a kid commit suicide when he jumped off the 7th floor of Pritchard

Last Wednesday my roommate Josh’s Mom died after a long battle with cancer

And last night a car hit a bunch of our friends walking to the parking lot. Zack managed to dodge, Dave and Chris got clipped, Dan’s leg was broken and was surgically repaired last night, and Cristine died on the scene. All of these folks have been on the fringe of IV for a while. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be in prayer for Christiane's family. Also pray for Zack and Dan who are both blaming themselves for not being able to protect her. Zack has been having a really rough semester, and this just adds to his trouble. Dan had been dating Christiane for well over a year.

The Devil is not happy with what God is doing in this building.

Pray
