the Amish-school shooting lose to my home

Prayer team,
Please pray for the Amish families whose daughters were lined up and executed by a gunman today- about a mile from the Amish-Mennonite school I attended. I believe some of those murdered and injured kids were probably daughters of my school mates, although names have not yet been released. I feel so much sadness for my Amish friends and community.
And pray for the safety of all of our schools. The last few days have been horrible here in the USA, with so many school shootings. Our kids need our prayers of protection.
On another note, this weekend is Friends' Day at Freedom Valley. We are asking God to bring us people who are searching and ready for a relationship with their Heavenly Father, and eternal life. We want to be part of making it hard to go to Hell from our city!

    My heart goes out to the Amish community, especially to the parents of the girls who died. Our Heavenly Father must weep when He sees what this world is capable of. Our children live in a different world then what we grew up in. They need God's protection now more than ever. We are praying for these children and families.

    As a parent, we can only imagine the horror and sadness the parents of these innocent girls must be facing. The only comfort we have is knowing that God is caring for those girls, and also dealing with that evil man. My prayers are with the peaceful Amish community whose lives have been changed forever.
