MADRID, Spain—Church members in the Madrid congregation, my family and I are sad, and our hearts fill with grief and compassion for the families of the more than 200 killed and more than 1,600 hurt this morning in terrorist attacks on trains in Madrid.
We thank God that none of the church members were injured. This morning while I was contacting each of them I discovered that a member’s son had been in the Atocha Central train station just 10 minutes before the terrible massacre and killing took place.
May I ask you please join us in prayer for God to comfort, strengthen and provide his peace to all the families who have lost dear ones and for the speedy recovery and physical and psychological healing of the injured—and that many in their grief and sorrow, seeing more clearly the fragility and weakness of human life, may turn to our Redeemer and Healer Jesus Christ.
Love in Christ to you all and your dear ones from my wife, Brigida, and me.
