A YWAM team was returning from a regional gathering to Benin when they were involved in a multi-vehicle accident near Badagry.  There were 15 people involved.  Our hearts are filled with sorrow to report one fatality.  We cannot release the name of the individual because it is late at night, and family members are still being notified.  Two are injured and in critical condition.  Every effort is being made to ensure their access to the best medical care available.  Please pray as an ambulance is being sourced to transport them to a better facility nearby. We are grateful that everyone else on the team is safe and returning to Benin.
