A Tennessee church has asked for prayers after four congregation members died in a small plane crash that also left the church’s senior pastor seriously injured.
On Tuesday morning, a single-engine Piper PA-46 plane crashed south of the Yoakum Municipal Airport in Texas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Of the five people on board, one flight crew member and three passengers died, according to the FAA, and the plane was “destroyed” in the crash.
In a statement, Harvest Church, located in the Memphis suburb of Germantown, revealed that the plane’s passengers were members of the church. The church identified the four people killed as Bill Garner, the church’s executive vice president; Steve Tucker, a church elder; and Tyler Patterson and Tyler Springer.
“All were beloved members of Harvest Church and their loss currently leaves us without the proper words to articulate our grief,” the statement said…. (Excerpt from The Christian Post)
