Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Most of you have heard about the tragedy at Daytona Bike Week this year. Two BFC members were rear ended by a car - at approximately 60 miles per hour, while they were waiting to turn right at a green light.
Pastor Fred Z. (BFC Founder) was involved in this terrible bike wreck, breaking 3 ribs in his back, He also broke T5 and T6, and reinjured T7, 8 and 9; T7, T8, and T9 are old injuries that got flared up... these other two 5 & 6 are new breaks... He is recovering at home with his wife Esther & the church family, at BFC HQ. in
California.
BFC member David Catalano (74 yrs. Old) was the first one hit, and fell off his bike. His helmet actually came off on impact. David ended up with a broken pelvis, head injuries, and a lot of road rash. He was taken to a hospital. We thought that he would recover. We were told the next day, that David died due to complications during preparations for an MRI.
The driver of the car that hit them was a 19 yr. old girl. She supposedly did not have car insurance at the time. Please pray for her. Pastor Z. had un-insured motorist coverage, and medical, so he’s fine. David Catalano had beat cancer twice, and recently had a hip replacement. David did not have un-insured motorist coverage at the time of the accident. So his family is facing “huge” financial hard-ships right now.
We are asking members and friends to pray about this, and if you can help – please send a card and a love offering (“of any size”) to Dave’s wife:
Annette Catalano
c/o Rock Church
1818 Taylor Rd.
Port Orange, Florida 32128
Mrs. Catalano and the family would really appreciate it, and your treasure will be great in Heaven. As part of their spiritual family, we must try to help meet the needs of this widow, as the Bible instructs us – to do so. Thanks for your help. BFC HQ has is leading the charge with the first donation. Will you also please help this family in Christ? They would appreciate any help in this tragedy.
