Media Coverage Summary of Dan Woolley Rescue

Posted by Terry White on January 28, 2010

The latest e-newsletter from Los Altos, Calif., Grace Brethren Church (Phil Helfer and Mike Jentes, pastors) carries this good summary of media coverage of the amazing rescue in Haiti of Dan Woolley (pictured with his wife), whose mother teaches at the Los Altos school.

 

AMAZING STORY OF DAN WOOLLEY’S RESCUE
Thanks for the many prayers for Dan Woolley–the son of our sixth grade teacher Pat Woolley.  He serves the Lord with Compassion International and was in Port Au Prince Haiti when the earthquake hit.  Dan has undergone two surgeries for his injuries and recovered enough to be flown to the USA.  Then he fly on to his home in Colorado Springs.  The media attention has been rabid and he has had opportunity to share about the Lord in many ways.  Before that though, even while he was trapped in the elevator shaft of the collapsed Hotel Montana, Dan shared his faith with a Haitian bellhop who was also in the rubble of the hotel–this man received the Lord!

    Thanks for spreading the word about my friend Dan and for pointing people to Compassion International to “help Haiti.”

    Please continue to pray for David Hames like he’s family. Because he is.
