Church Planting Pastor in Serious Accident

One of PAOI's church planting pastors involved is serious motorcycle accident.
On January 24 we were blessed to minister with Pastor Daniel, one of our pioneering church planting pastors with the Pentecostal Assemblies of India, at two of his three village churches near Rajamundry. It was a wonderful day in the Lord's presence and there was much joy in everyone's heart. But how things can change so fast because the following day, Pastor Daniel was critically injured when the motorcycle he was riding was hit by an out of control bus. He went under the front wheel of the bus, destroying the motorcycle and sustaining serious injury to his head and leg. He was taken to hospital unconscious and in critical condition. The outlook appeared dim.
Phone calls and emails went around the world asking for prayer and the Lord heard our cries. Through God's healing mercies, Pastor Daniel is no longer in critical condition. He has regained consciousness and, although he still has serious injuries, there appears to be no brain or spinal damage.
We returned to Rajamundry the last Sunday to visit Pastor Daniel in hospital, and to convey your love and words of encouragement to his wife and daughters, and to the churches.
