Prayer Request

Hello Bakerstown Alliance,

I have a friend from Grove City who could really use your prayers.

His name is Eric. Eric was severely injured in a bonfire accident at the camp he was working at in Maine on Thursday night (7/12). He was preparing the bonfire and poured a bit of old gas on it, he lit the fire from afar but some of the gas had dripped down a piece of wood and pooled behind him so when the fire ignited it engulfed him. He immediately stopped, dropped, and rolled, but he was already burned. He has 2nd degree burns on his face, arms, and legs, and 3rd degree burns on his right elbow and right calf. EMS arrived and transported him to the nearest hospital, then he was transported via helicopter to the burn center at Maine Medical Center. He spent 8 hours in a burn procedure room where they treated his wounds and placed a type of fake skin on his arms and legs and wrapped them in ace wrap. His face is covered in ointment. They may have to use grafts on the 3rd degree burns. He then spent two days in intensive care and is now on a regular surgical floor. He is on bed rest and cannot use his hands.

I'm sure this is a very trying and scary time for him and his family. He would appreciate your prayers. Thanks guys....
