Urgent Prayer Request...

Hello everyone,

I'm writing, asking for specific prayer for the Tiffin University campus. On Tuesday night of this week, something happened to many of our students and they became very ill, to the point of overwhelming the local hospital emergency room. The numbers were so large, that a special tri-age unit was set up in the hospital just for TU students and staff. No one is sure quite what the illness is at this point. Food poisoning was the initial reaction, but that was quickly ruled out.

It certainly took it's toll on our h2o Bible Study tonight. We had almost 20 students out with this mess. Currently, the numbers are over 120 that have caught this, and the numbers are growing. It's not contageous, but we're taking as much precaution as necessary.

All events for the campus have been cancelled, even Family Weekend for this coming weekend. Please pray that God will do a miraculous work on our campus, and that this will be a phenominal opportunity to share the Good News with our students.

Here is a link to an article in our local paper today about this epidemic.

Thank you so much for your prayer support.
