Car Accident! Please Pray

I received a phone call from Thandie this morning which only happens if there is an extreme emergency as it is quite expensive for her to call the US from Malawi. As soon as I heard her voice the phone cut out. With my heart racing I called her back and found out there was a terrible car accident this morning. Rodney was driving the Mazda truck on the way to purchase a cow. I am not sure how the accident happened exactly, but praise the Lord no one was killed. There are many serious injuries however. They are as follows:
3 boys in the children's home were injured

Evance was thrown from the back of the truck on to the street. He is missing most of the skin on both hands, one elbow and a large piece of skin off of his back.

William hurt hit his arm, it was x-rayed and found to be sprained not broken. Praise the Lord!
Madahtso injured his neck, he is able to move his arms and legs, which is a good sign! He is in extreme pain and not is not able to move his neck at all.
The men inside the truck received only minor injuries. Praise the Lord! Pastor Baeta hurt his arm. Raxson has a bruised elbow. Alex the cook has a loose tooth and Rodney the driver has no injuries at all. Although I am sure he will be sore tomorrow.
The most seriously injured were two of our "garden boys"
Job (Japhet's brother) sustained a serious head injury. He is throwing up and has body pains. He is missing large parts of the skin on one elbow and both legs.
Kondwani has deep head wounds, missing large parts of the skin on his back and one arm. He has a dislocated elbow.
Please lift these boys and men up in prayer.
