Greg Laurie's Son Killed in Car Accident

[olde_fashioned]

Why is it so many Christians seem to die in car accidents? First Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter, now Greg Laurie's son? This is so very very sad and tragic. :-(

Christopher Laurie, son of Greg Laurie of Harvest Crusade fame and pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, was killed Thursday in a car accident. Christopher was 33 years old, married, had a two-year-old daughter and another on the way.

The whole family could use a lot of prayers right now. They are asking that instead of sending flowers that you donate to a foundation to provide for the widow and children. Their unborn daughter will never meet her father. :'-(

Read Greg Laurie's church's official statment and a News Article on the accident. The first has a picture of Christopher and his family.

Oh wow...so sad. He had a gorgeous little family.

(side-note: you are really on top of things...I think you were the first person to point out about the death of Maria and now this!)

Excuse my icon in the previous post!...it's just my primary icon. :/

That's okay. ;-) Actually, even though it's sad for us down here, Christopher is probably joyful up in heaven.

I know. I can't imagine how his wife feels right now. :-(

Actually, I found out about this a day late!! But I'm shocked at how little news coverage there is on it.

He does have a beautiful family. Although I'm certain it was his time to go, I can't help but feel an ounce of sorrow for his youth at the time of his passing, and the state in which his family was left. God bless the Lauries, and may Christopher enter into His rest.

I totally agree. It's still sad, even though it was God's will. :-(
