Message from Tammy Tetterton Flynn, A Family Friend from Bethel

"Good morning. I wanted to ask you to pray for my cousin, Philip Peedin. We received a call on Sunday morning that he had been “hit by a mortar round” in Bahgdad. They are planning to fly him out to Germany and then on to Walter Reed by the weekend. His injuries are very extensive – injuries to his wrist, legs, shoulder and abdomen. He has multiple shrapnel (sp?) injuries all over his body. Some of his Special Forces Team is supposed to meet with the family this morning with hopefully more information. His mom/dad were able to talk to him yesterday. He told them that he knew that prayer for him was the only thing that had saved him. He heard the mortar round coming but didn’t have time to really take cover or try to get out. Anyway, we would really appreciate your prayers for him and our family. Thanks!"
