Pastor Al's Accident

Al Barnes, Pastor of Kingdom Roadhouse Biker Church was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident on July 13 around 4pm. The Accident occurred while he was on his way home from working at Kid’s Peace. He was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest where he underwent surgery.

Al has significant swelling on the right side of his brain and a blood clot on the left side. He has a contusion on the front and a subarachnoid hematoma. There was bleeding that they were able to stop. The surgeon removed a fair size piece of his skull due to the swelling. They did not find any injury to his spinal chord. Not sure about any other injuries at this time. They wanted to treat the most serious injuries first.

God has been at work in this circumstance. The trauma nurse who worked on Al is the niece of a good friend. Another friend is a nurse that was on duty last night. Prayer chains have extended all over the east coast through many, many people.

Please remember Al, and his daughter in prayer. There is no prognosis given by the doctors at this point, as in this type of injury, many differing outcomes are possible. As you can imagine the next few days are important.

There will be a special Prayer Service at Kingdom Roadhouse Friday night July 17th at 7pm. Kingdom Roadhouse meets at 1665 Whitehall Avenue, Allentown PA. Directions are available on the KR website: www.kingdom-roadhouse.org
Please join us for this very important time.


Cards, notes and letters can be sent to:
Pastor Al Barnes
c/o The Millers
6417 Schantz Road
Allentown, PA 18104

I will update this as often as possible and I thank everyone for their prayers.
Mitch Miller for Pastor Al
