NLCCT was involved in a major, near fatal 2 car accident in Fountain, Colorado while
driving back from their Albuquerque, New Mexico event on 1/31/2010.
Scroll down to view photos of the accident and read about their miraculous testimony
of how God allowed them to walk away with just minor bumps and bruises.
"JESUS IS LORD".
Kiki was in her element.
PRAISE GOD.
Starting from left to right-(Homeless lady, Liz Shanks, Jose Heredia Garza, Christian Miller, John Miller, and Jeremy; Jeremy is the event coordinator for Telos House Ministries.)
The NLCCT joined together in prayer, said their goodbyes, and gave their hugs & kisses to everyone from Telos House Ministries, Sandia Mountain Church Of The Nazarene, and Sandia Valley Church Of The Nazarene on 1/31/2010 as they loaded the 2 vans and left beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico at 2:30pm to head back home for the 8 hour drive to Denver, Colorado.
Liz Shanks, Rochelle Hisle, Kiki Petri, & Christian Miller were in van 1.
Owen Hisle, Jose Heredia Garza, John Miller, & Anne Miller were in van 2-(van 2 was one of the vans involved in the accident with another auto).
Around 9:00pm, both vans reached Fountain, Colorado. Van 1 was about 3 miles ahead of van 2. Shortly between 9:00pm and 9:30pm van 2 was driving 70-mph-(HWY I-25 allows 75-mph) in the far right slow lane. Out of nowwhere and with-out warning, van 2 was struck on the entire driver side of their van by another auto which was traveling at least 75-mph if not more. Both van 2 and the other auto seemed to be locked together metal to metal causing each other to spin around and around on HWY I-25 N-bound and dragging each other closer and closer to a ditch which met with HWY I-25.
Both van 2 and the other auto seemed to break apart by the time they both reached the ditch causing van 2 to roll over side ways again, and again, and again until we ended up, up-side-down. The other auto kept skidding across the ditch until it reached the other side of HWY I-25 S-bound where it was struck by a truck sending it back towards HWY I-25 N-bound. The elderly lady in that auto was in very, very, bad shape according to the authorities who arrived on the scene.
The 4 of us realized we were up side down. A Doctor and other passerby's arrived on the scene and helped Anne, John, Jose, & Me get out of 'van 2' asap while the authorities were on their way.
After all the authorities-(police, ambulances, fire trucks) were done checking all four of us out; to include the Doctor & the many other passerby's; only to find that all four of us had only sustained minor bumps and bruises, they all asked us - "how was it even remotely possible that all four of you walked away from this horrific accident with only minor bumps and bruises but yet the other lady in the other auto is in very bad critical shape not knowing if she will make it? All of you or some of you should have been hurt majorly worse or even killed. This doesn't make sense. How was it possible?"
All four of us took that opportunity and shared with every one there this: "It was by the power of Jesus Christ" Each of us got to share the power of Jesus to those on the scene who would listen just before the ambulances took all four of us to the hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado to be checked out just to be safe.
The Doctor's in the hospital who checked all four of us out knowing all the details by the paramedics who brought us in and by the police who were at the scene of the accident were even dumbfounded that all of us walked away with just minor bumps and bruises. And when even the Doctor's and Nurses also asked us how we managed to walk away unharmed, we also shared the power of Jesus Christ with them too.
All four of us walked out of the hospital in the same way we walked away from the accident as if the accident never happened with all the authorities, Doctors, & nurses scratching their heads in wonder trying to figure out how it was possible for all four of us to walk away with-out one broken bone, with-out being harmed worse, or with-out being killed.
THAT'S EASY. THE POWER OF JESUS. PRAISE GOD!
NOTE: John Miller-(the one in bed) was the only one who stayed over night in the hospital for some extra tests however, all the tests came back negative - Praise God.
