Dear Dr. Burge
Please extend our gratitude to all who have prayed for
Lindsay and Emma. We are so thankful to have a great
home and sending church as well as a mission board with
missionaries that are like family to us. We have been
amaze at the magnitude of response by letters, e-mails
and phone calls from literally around the world. This is
one of those God things that most Christians only read
about. God is faithful and is ever-present in our time
of need. Please continue to be in prayer for Lindsay and
Emma as they are still in ICU and will be for the near
future. Also remember Linda and I as we seek to minister
at out temporary mission field, Augusta, Georgia. Rick
and Joy Kelly are missionaries to the military on Guam
and are filling in for us at Family Baptist church.
Souls are being saved constantly as they are
demonstrating their ability to follow Christ in our
absence. God bless you all, even every one!

Dear BMFP Family and Friends:
Alice & I drove from Jacksonville to Augusta, GA
yesterday where we were able to spend some time with Jay
& Linda Aarseth. Needless to say the Aarseths are
exhausted and drained. They are trusting in the Lord.
Their daughter and grandchildren continued to be in
serious condition with around 60 percent body burns from
the fire.
Early this morning (Sunday) Brother Jay called to inform
me that their young grandson Ewan passed away. Please
continue pray for their daughter Lindsay Norcross and
their granddaughter Emma. Your love and prayers for Jay
& Linda Aarseth and their family is greatly appreciated.
Right now the best way to let them know of your concern
and prayers for them is to send them a short email to
their address at
uk4him@aol.com. Thanks for caring!
The Lord is good, all the time!

Lindsay’s surgery went very well this morning. She had
skin grafts placed on her upper chest and leg areas. The
doctors main concern with these surgeries is for blood
loss after the completion of the surgery. Please pray
fervently that her blood loss will be minimal.
The doctors informed the family that Emma’s temperature
has had a slight increase. They feel that this is due to
one of her lungs still not being completely clear. Their
concern is that the medicine she has been given has not
been able to completely clear this lung. They are
planning on taking Emma into surgery on tomorrow to
clear this lung if it has not cleared itself by that
time. The family asks everyone to please pray fervently
for Emma’s lung to clear.
Many have asked about arrangements for Ewan. They are
still pending at this time and will be announced on this
site as soon as is possible.

Lindsay is making some positive progress
and her surgeon feels that she may be ready for trach
placement today. The trach is a more stable, “long term”
tube that will help her breathe. Dialysis is a
possibility just to be certain that if her kidneys are
not functioning optimally; she will be protected from
bacterial infection, etc. She did indicate to her nurse
last night that she has pain, but her meds were adjusted
and she appears as comfortable as possible.
Emma’s oxygen levels have stabilized for
now and her doctor is preparing to do surgery today.
This is an answer to prayer and the family takes much
hope in the simple fact that her medical team is
confident that she is stable enough to undergo a
procedure

Dear Praying Friends and Family,
As you may have heard our youngest daughter, Lindsay,
her 4 year old daughter Emma, and her 3 Year old son
Ewan were in an explosion in their home on Thursday
morning. They have severe burns over 60% of their
bodies. They are currently at Doctors Hospital in
Augusta Georgia. Please do not call the hospital!!!
At this time, all we know is that as Lindsay was at the
stove preparing to cook an explosion occurred blowing
the walls out of the mobile home, and causing the roof
to collapse and engulfing them in flames. Lindsay was
knocked unconscious for an undetermined amount of time.
When she came around the place was an inferno, she
searched and found her babies and got them out of the
house. The stove was electric so there is some
suspension that gas had accumulated from another
location that was unknown to her.
She, Emma, and Ewan are fighting for their lives. Along
with skin damage the internal organs are placed under a
terrific strain and the ever present danger of infection
is a very real concern. They are in surgery daily to
remove damaged tissue.
We want to ask for your prayers and understanding at
this time. We may not be able to respond to every
person immediately. We will get out updates to Piney
Grove Baptist Church in Trenton, Ga. and to Baptist
Missions to Forgotten Peoples in Jacksonville, Fl.
There is a fund established for Lindsay for information
contact Piney Grove or BMFP.
Please do not call our cells as they are from Guam and
are on roaming, we will address this in the days ahead
and update you. We will need a place to stay here in
Augusta as they will be in ICU for at least two months.
Thanks you for your words and expressions of love.
In Christ
Jay and Linda Aarseth
