Bautista Family Fire Fund

We woke up this morning to read that our wonderful friends house caught fire during the night last night.  I'm so very, very greatful that the entire family was able to get out unharmed!   This is such a wonderful family - they arrived to Killeen a few years back & jumped into ministry at our Church.  They are the meaning of selfless & servents - they'd help ANYONE with the last dollar to their names.  I miss them dearly & really wish I were there to help them through this time, but with the distance of where we are, the only thing Rob, Danielle & I could do was this.  Please, ANY amount big or small would make a WORLD of difference for them.  They have 5 insanely AWESOME children that they are raising up the RIGHT way!  When you're around this family, it brings nothing but smiles to your face.  I'd like to share Josh's accounts from last night:

"Well I guess this is the fastest way to tell everybody the news. Last night there was a short in the light socket or something around the line of that & our hou...se caught on fire, with us in it. Man its by the sovereignty of God that at Midnight while erica & I were asleep, we just instantly woke up & saw the smoke & the flames & ran into the kids room choking on smoke & dodging flames & grabbed them out of their beds & got them out of the house. We literally barely escaped in time. I tell u that God was looking out for us because there is absolutely no reason we would of woken up 1 hour after we went to bed after a long week at work. Praise God that we are alive & well, stuff can always be replaced. Thank you Jesus."
