A relatively new church plant and a client of Strategic Digital Outreach, The Bridge Church in Atlanta, Georgia, recently underwent a heartbreaking tragedy:
Early Saturday morning a tragic auto accident took the life of one of our church family and worship band members, Michael Jones. Michael is the son of Bill and Anne Jones who have been instrumental in helping start The Bridge Church. Also injured in the accident were several band members and friends.
Urgent prayer is needed for Shea Hickok, the daughter of our Worship Pastor Steve and Susan Hickok. Shea is in critical condition and on life support with severe damage to her lungs. She is at the Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon. Also injured is Luke Hickok, with broken ribs and a concussion, and Rachel, a friend of Shea and Luke, with a punctured lung.
Immediate prayer is needed for these young adults and band members whose lives have been altered by this tragic event. The Jones and Hickok families need us to urgently intercede for them.
The primary reason I am posting this is to ask the readers of this blog to pray for Shea Hickok, as well as for the Hickok and Jones families.
Secondarily, I think that the blog which was started almost immediately to keep friends and family updated on Shea’s condition represents a marvelous use of modern technology to rally the Christian community around a common cause. The comments in themselves are a joy to read.
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
