Baguio CityOne worker “Frank” received extensive burns and has been hospitalized.  Please commit to pray for Frank’s healing and complete recovery.   There is simultaneously a praise, as one of the church members who was pregnant had just exited the room when the explosion occurred and she was unhurt.

“It was like a grenade went off in the church,” said one of the members. “The ceiling came down, windows and doors were blown out.”

Please commit to pray for Frank and the rest of the church family at Pines City Church of the Nazarene.
