I was working on a post and this came across my desk…felt it was much more important and urgent than what I was contemplating. Please be in fervent prayer for Luis, and continue in prayer until you hear different.
Prayer is requested for Luis Alvarado, 26-year-old son of Rev. Sonia Alvarado, pastor of Moline Bethel-Wesley UMC, and Rev. Julio Alvarado, pastor of Moline Bethel-Wesley and Silvis UMC's, who is stationed in Afghanistan. Earlier today, Luis and his squadron encountered a roadside bomb while on patrol. Luis took the brunt of the bomb's detonation, sustaining internal injuries. Surgeons have amputated both of his legs. Luis will be transported back to the United States as soon as his condition stabilizes. The Bethel-Wesley UMC congregation is holding a prayer vigil tonight at the church on behalf of the Alvarados and invites the wider IGRC family to join them from wherever they are. More details will be shared as they become available.
