Pray for the family of MK Beth Bailey Molina following an auto accident in Atlanta on April 18. Their van was struck head-on by a man who had gone into diabetic coma.

Nine-year-old Halden suffered internal injuries, with shadows showing up on his intestines and a lung. Beth’s husband Dennis had some minor injuries due to the deployment of the airbag, but was released from the hospital the next day. Beth, who suffered multiple fractures (tailbone, shoulder blade, and a vertebrae in the neck) continues to have considerable pain. Beth’s mother, former Argentina missionary (1965-80) Barbara Bailey reported that all are improving daily. Beth is the most critically injured and continues to have considerable pain.

Missionary Charolette Rock reports that her father, Lewis McDonald (92), is home from the hospital and able to be up and about, even taking walks outside using his cane. He is off antibiotics and has to take an increased dosage of a diuretic. Charolette’s mother, Sylvia, is doing well and glad that she doesn’t have to be at the hospital every day.
