Mighty intercession at PFCU

On Saturday, I was privileged to facilitate two classes for the PFC University on "becoming and full-time missionary" and "speakers workshop."  I enjoyed fellowship with many, but especially the men involved at Standing Stones in Wapato. 

In the early portion of the second class, we got a call about a car accident involving Greg Von Tobel.  Greg and Rhonda are puctured, here. 


I'll let Bob Jordan narrate the events:

Today Prisoners For Christ ran its semi-annual prison training – Prisoners For Christ University. It was very well attended as the attached pictures show. Greg Von Tobel was present and did the opening introduction. He left to go home and somehow (it’s still uncertain what happened) he was involved in an automobile accident. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center in downtown Seattle. 

At approx 2:15 we were advised of the accident. We gathered all classroom teachers and students together and called out unto Almighty God for mercy and healing. Immediately afterward we sent word to the Board of Directors and other volunteers for prayer and intercession. God was in our midst as we cried out unto the Lord.

Before the end of the teaching session (we continued the training knowing this is what Greg would want) we received word that he was doing well and cogent and resting. For this we gave God great praise and thanksgiving!

The prayer time on Greg's behalf as we called on the Lord was an incredible highlight of my service with PFC.

Rhonda was at the hospital along with their daughter Ashley and her husband when I arrived. Greg looked pretty banged up and they were administering a shot of morphine. He had a contusion in his chest, but no broken bones. He had some lacerations on the top/back of his head which produced a lot of blood, but was superficial as there was no swelling or skull fracture. 

Kelly Dunn, who is a PFCU teacher and fireman, came by as well at the hospital, along with the Duvall Police Dept. Chaplain. Many others called and were preparing to come down but by then we knew he’d be released. So many prayer warriors out there made the difference.

He was released and walked from the lobby to the car under his own power. Pictures are shared to show how fast things can happen in one day – from leading the PFC University gathering to being in Harborview! 

It’s understood from the medical staff that he’ll be rather sore for a few days, but we continue to rejoice that the man of God is recovering, back home, resting comfortably, and with his family. We also praise God that the other person involved in the accident is well too, and was not hospitalized.

Bob Jordan and Greg are sharing together at Standing Stones.

Continue to pray for Brother Greg beloved, God bless you all!
