Pray for MercyMe

I know this has nothing to do with a review but just wanted to let people know what happened and that your prayer would be greatly appreciated. As for the band they have been through so much and this just piles up the more death they have experienced. God will keep everyone strong. My sympathy is with the band and the families/fans affected by this


FORT WAYNE, Ind. The Christian rock band MercyMe canceled a show Saturday night at Six Flags St. Louis after its tour bus collided with a car in northeastern Indiana, killing two passengers in the car and the pregnant car driver’s unborn baby. No one in the band was injured. A news story on the crash and a photo of the damaged bus were posted on the band’s site. "Please join us in praying for the families of the car that hit our bus last night," the band said in a posting on its Web site. "Our hearts break for their families." Fort Wayne police Officer Liza Thomas said witnesses told police the bus was going through a green light about 1:15 a.m. Saturday when the car made a left turn in front of it. The band from the Dallas area had been in Fort Wayne for a Friday night show. No injuries were reported on the bus, Thomas said. Two passengers in the car, a male and female, were pronounced dead. The car’s driver was in her third trimester of pregnancy and the baby died. The driver was hospitalized Saturday in critical condition, she said. Police have not disclosed the names of the people involved the crash. Six Flags, in Eureka, said MercyMe’s show had been rescheduled for Sept. 5. All concert tickets will be honored for the new date, it said.
