Father and Daughter PTG

​A father and daughter were killed in a small plane crash on Monday in Florida, which was bound for Jamaica on a hurricane relief mission, according to their ministry.

Alexander Wurm, 53, and his 22-year-old daughter, Serena Wurm, died after the aircraft crashed into a waterway in a residential area of Coral Springs, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale.

Ignite the Fire Ministry released a statement on Monday night, saying Alexander Wurm was known for his "warmth and unwavering kindness" and that he "devoted his life to serving others."

"Throughout his life, Alex travelled extensively, reaching various countries and continents, where he tirelessly worked to bring faith, compassion, and support to those in need. His legacy of faith and compassion touched countless lives," the ministry added.

The ministry said Serena Wurm, "following in her father's footsteps, was a beacon of empathy and hope, inspiring all with her commitment to humanitarian work."

Adding that, "Together, their final journey embodied selflessness and courage, reminding us of the power of service and love."

Alexander and Serena Wrum are survived by their wife and mother, Candace, and two children, son James, 17, and daughter Christiana, 20.

Erin K. - Sister PTG

​🥲This year has been characterized by significant challenges. My only sister, Shawn Elizabeth O’Leary, passed away in her sleep on Monday morning at the young age of 64.  Moving back to East Lansing over a year ago, Shawn found peace and community with her ELHS classmates and wonderful cousins. She recently experienced heart issues, and in typical O’Leary style, kept it low key. 🫶🏼🏀🍀

​Hey everyone….  Jason M. needs prayer. In a big big way. He hasn’t been well. Struggling mental illness and has been living on the streets/in homeless shelters these last few weeks. He and Michelle moved to Wisconsin a few months ago. The forecast is snow tonight. No one has heard from him for at least 24 hours and texts/phone calls aren’t going through. Please pray for him - for his safety and that God will bring him to the help he needs.
