Missionaries in Car Accident

June 27, 2007

Alliance missionaries to Gabon David and Becki Thompson were not seriously injured when their vehicle overturned after David fell asleep at the wheel. “We are all okay, with only a few scratches on our hands from broken glass,” David says. The Thompsons, admittedly exhausted, and two other passengers were on their way to Libreville from Bongolo Hospital when the accident occurred. The car rolled and stopped on its side near a thatched room filled with preschool children.

“Our thoughts are filled with ‘should haves’ and ‘should not haves,’” Thompson says, “but that’s a bit late now. We are mostly grateful to be alive and uninjured.” The Thompsons are scheduled to leave Gabon June 28 for home assignment.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
