Thank you Louie and all for being that community, that hand and heart of Christ in such a dark time. You said what many of us could not, and so beautifully. This tragedy makes crystal clear why what Passion is and does is so needed. May God continue to raise up a generation for His renown...

I am sure that Jesus in heaven is mourning the loss with us and will grant us His love, peace, & mercy in the difficult days ahead.

As many are doing now, I also called my sister at ECU to connect with her and tell her that I love her and to be safe.

I pray God’s mercy, strength,peace, and everlasting love over the VT tech community. I also pray for the church leaders and the Christian community as they reach out and show the compassion of Christ to their neighbors who are and will be stuggling in they days and months ahead.

In Christ,
