Akbar Nazary, Resident Steward and First Counselor to the President, was seriously injured while cutting a large tree near Aravaipa Canyon. This wood is used exclusively for Spirit Walk fires. He was injured last Monday, around noon, March 1 and transported by helicopter to University of Arizona Medical Trauma Center in Tucson. His injuries include 12 broken ribs, several cracked vertebrae, lung contusion, and a cut above his right eye. He has had one surgery on his spine.

Please join us in praying for Akbar’s full recovery. All well-wishes, flowers or gifts will be forwarded to him.

Thank you,
All of us at the Peyote Way Church
