Too many residents, too few elevators
Many people are aware of the problems that exist at Gateway Plaza at 200 Spring Garden Street; however, this is an urgent request for prayer on behalf of the approximately 200 residents living there on 16 floors.
During the next approximately 17 weeks, there will only be one elevator in service at a time. There are only two elevators normally. And for years, residents have frequently been trapped on the elevators and the fire department had to be called to get them out. Now that they are to be repaired (one at a time), this is an urgent request for prayer that there will be no emergencies.
There are residents without legs, many on oxygen, some with motorized chairs or wheelchairs. This could be most serious. There are two stairwells, but they could not accommodate such needy residents. Their windows only open a few inches. There is a small ladder which goes to the roof. Perhaps we could see rescues in helicopters?
We need prayer.

I'll pray for you but I'm afraid you just told the terrorists where to strike next.

No Ms. Petty, we don't need prayer, what we need is action. The hard work of one does much more than the prayers of millions!
