The Train Wreck in Rio

Many of you have probably heard about this. The following is an excerpt from the Fox News report:

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil ? A speeding train carrying hundreds of commuters slammed into an empty train near Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, killing eight people and injuring more than 80, officials said.The commuter train was traveling at nearly 60 mph when it slammed into the rear end of an empty six-car train maneuvering slowly from one track to another, the Supervia company that runs the train said.Some passengers aboard the commuter train had to be freed by rescue workers using blowtorches to cut through the twisted wreckage.

Please be in prayer for the the wounded victims, the families of those who died, and our missionaries who are working in Rio.
