With great sadness and heavy hearts, we report the passing of Jean Serge Mienahou, who was working with YWAM in Congo Brazzaville. The bus he was riding in was involved in a multi-vehicle accident near the town of Badagry while returning from a YWAM gathering. Family and friends have been notified, and memorial arrangements are underway.

Urgent prayer is needed for the injured. Tchando Matthieu from Benin is in critical condition with severe injuries. Tomsuwa Cosme from Togo had injuries, but his condition has been downgraded to stable. Evariste Gbejihounde from Benin was hospitalized for two broken ribs. Some of the remaining passengers required minor treatment and ongoing medical diagnosis, but we are grateful that all others involved are safe and on their way home.

Local YWAM leaders and friends have been ensuring access to quality care and supporting family and friends. Over the last 24 hours, a global outpouring of love and concern has been received.
