Please Pray

Hey Everyone,

I have a prayer request for all of you. A young man by the name of Greg Gomez died in an automobile accident in Peru on July 5th. He just graduated from Ole Miss in May with an engineering degree. He was serving as a Summer Missionary with the Reap South team. He was on the Research Team going to different remote villages finding people groups so that those groups can later be reached by Missionaries. He was on a combi (van-public transportation) when the van hit the side of mountain. He died of head injuries. Several others were injured. Two other young ladies were with him from the ReapSouth team--one of whom (Claudia) was my roommate in Peru. As far as I know the girls are doing fine, but they did have some injuries. This is all I know at this time.

Here is a news article about the accident: http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=149530

and for those of you who read spanish: http://www.correoperu.com.pe/correosur/cusco/nota.php?id=23716

Please keep the Reap South team and all of our summer missionaries in your prayers.

UPDATE:

I just spoke with Arnold (one of the Missionaries on the Reap South team). He says that because public transportation strikes are starting tomorrow they are having trouble getting Greg's body back to the U.S. Also, there is just tons of paperwork that has to be done in order to get him back. Please continue to pray for the team and the missionaries.

Thank you!
