Kenzie was found!

Here's the story from Chandra about their adventures on Saturday. I got the crisis phone call from her Saturday afternoon to pray. Aileen was on the phone with Chandra while we were in the vehicle heading to Campbell River to be with them when they got the news Kenzie (who has just turned 2 years old) had been found safe and sound. It is a miracle, and Chandra and Mike want to thank everyone involved. Here's the story from Chandra:

"Thank you to all who participated in our emergency prayer chain on June 7th.

"While we were camping just outside Campbell River our two year old daughter, Kenzie went missing. She was only discovered to be missing within minutes, but despite our efforts to look for her it turned up nothing. Luckily we chose a site away from water or any dangers, but she still managed to wander off.

"After 45 minutes of about 6 people searching the trails, we had called 9-1-1 which involved the Search and Rescue team. Two of the six people proceeded on horse back and one on a quad to search for her. The search team involved a search dog, 2 helicopters from Comox and a large group of people.

"30 minutes after the team showed up a vehicle drove into a lake up the road. Some of the team and a helicopter left to assist in the accident. Those people involved in the accident were seriously injured, but because of Kenzie's disappearance this may have saved their lives because everyone was just minutes away instead of a half hour away.

"After she was missing for 2 hours we put out the emergency prayer chain. This all took 4 and a half hours, but she was found in the end by the search dog and one of the people on horse. She was safe and content when she was returned to us.

"We just thank God for the amazing events that took place and the people we were surrounded with in the effort to find her.
