Tragedy Close To Home

The weekend shootings of believers at a Youth With A Mission training center in the Denver area and then of people leaving services at New Life Church just up the road from Focus leave me saddened and heavy hearted.  It is a shame that such things occur, and to have two separate incidents right in this area makes one wonder, “Why?”

From initial reports, it seems both the staff at the YWAM facility and also the folks at New Life are responding appropriately,  that they are not angry, that they are leaving the “Why?” questions for later.

For now, our hearts and prayers are with those brothers and sisters who experienced the trauma and those who lost family members and friends. May the God of all comfort bring peace and healing.
