As some of you may have heard, there is a fire raging on Catalina Island off the coast of California. It is especially threatening the tiny, one square mile town of Avalon.
I'm not sure how many of you know that John's younger sister Katie, who was married just one week ago, lives in Avalon with her new husband Eddie. His older's sister, Elizabeth, and her husband Grant, moved to Catalina quite a few years ago to run a YMCA camp. They have since relocated back to Florida, however, Katie, who helped them run the camp, has stayed and is now working at a hotel on the island. Eddie is a boat captain.
JB and I visited Catalina Island back in 2001. It is a beautiful island and am amazing place. They have been evacuating people by ferry since yesterday. Please be praying for the people and the town itself. When your town is one square mile, everyone is affected.
