From Doug Phillips:

Last night as tornado storm winds approached the Lee home in Alabama, Tom gathered his wife and thirteen children in the den. They huddled and they prayed. Two minutes later the tornado descended upon them. The house was instantly destroyed as beams and cinder blocks reigned down upon them.

But in his last great act of fatherhood, Tom Lee had the presence of mind to throw himself on top of his children, including his first born son Jordan. Looking up at his father Jordan saw the blood in his father’s mouth and witnessed as the breath began to leave his father, but was able to hear the last words of his fathers crying out to God for the safety of his family. Then the spirit left the body of Tom Lee.

There were other injuries including children trapped under a piano and between beams. Medical assistance was no where in sight for many hours. There was just too much damage in the valley, too few support teams, and inaccessibility was a problem. Eventually they came…

…“Thank God, The body of Christ has been activated” Kevin just told me. “We are getting calls and reports of tractors, trucks and Christians from all around who are on their way to bring help.”
