Tragic News: Kyle Lake

The Associated Press has just reported that University Baptist Church pastor and Relevant Author Kyle Lake, 33, was electrocuted today when he reached for a microphone while conducting a baptism.

I first got to know Kyle in September, 2001 and he was a part of the faithmaps community for a while. He leaves behind his wife Jen, a five year old daughter, Avery, and three year old twin boys - Sutton and Jude. Please pray for them, for Kyle's friends, and for the church.

In the picture, Kyle is on the far left.
