If you remember our Sangha video where we sat in the open fields with them, wrapped in saffron cloth, watching them whisper their prayers into the cold evening air, hands folded with a gentleness that felt almost ancient, please join us in prayer as they have been in an accident.
Their peace was interrupted on their way through Dayton, Texas. The monks were involved in an accident that left two of them injured. And something about that news settled heavy on our hearts. Maybe because we had just sat beside them. Maybe because suffering feels different when it touches someone who brought peace into your own community. Maybe because pain always feels closer when you have seen the face behind the robe and had the chance to know the quiet sincerity of their hearts.
So today, we are asking our community of Bellville to pray.
Pray for healing over their bodies.
Pray for comfort over their minds.
Pray for peace to settle over them in a way that is unmistakably supernatural, a peace so real and so present that it wraps around them with the same warmth and certainty as the blanket pulled over their shoulders in this cold season.
But more than that, let us pray for their salvation in Jesus.
May the One who meets us in every valley meet them in theirs.
May His presence surround their steps.
May His love reveal itself in ways that are unmistakable, tender, and full of mercy.
And to our town of Bellville, thank you.
Thank you for welcoming them with open hearts.
Thank you for showing them the kind of kindness that makes Bellville feel like home to anyone who passes through.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to the outcasts.
We are proud, so proud, to call this place our community.
Keep praying.
Keep loving.
Keep believing that God can use even this moment for something eternal.
