I’m sure you’ve all heard the news about the two students who were murdered at Virginia Tech in the past couple of days. This morning we received an email from Jeff filling us in on some of the details.
Both of the students (David Metzler and Heidi Childs) were involved with Campus Crusade for Christ and were helping to lead a small group Bible Study there. During the tragedy 2 years ago the Cru group also lost 2 students.
Please pray for the Metzlers and the Childs family as they grieve the loss of their children. Please also pray for the students of Tech and especially the Cru students – the roommates of the victims underclassmen that were in their Bible studies are “confused and overwhelmed with grief.”
Last night was the first large group meeting of the year at Tech, Heidi’s roommates were there and were coming to God full-out in worship even in the midst of tragedy.
Pray also that God would work through this tragedy to bring the comfort of Christ to a hurting campus. David and Heidi are at peace with the Savior now and I am sure would want nothing more than to see people come to Christ as a result of their deaths as much as they had because of their lives.
