There is a major fire burning in Airzona just a few miles from the Mission I used to direct. They had about 100 Indian kids in camp there and all were evacuated today. The fire literally blew up from 1200 acres to over 25,000 acres in just 8 hours. The mission is in Liden and is in the direct path of the fire which is only 5 miles away at last report. The mission and school back up to National Forest that is dense and tinder dry from drough for the past 4 years. The fire is so intense ground crews were ordered off the lines and all air attacks suspended until winds die down tonight. Please pray for the mission, and all the staff (35)who were sent to Eager 40 miles away. Most were not given enough time to remove much of their personal belongings. Their homes are in danger. Your prayers are greatly appreciated.
