I visited Antioch Community Church in Waco this morning, where we were told of a fatal accident at University Baptist Church this morning.
The pastor, Kyle Lake, was baptizing a young girl (age unknown) when a microphone fell into the baptismal electrocuting both of them.
They were both transported to a local hospital. A short time later Pastor Lake passed on. I don’t know any specifics on the girl’s condition, but we were told she was doing better before the service was over.
Please be in prayer for everyone involved, espcially the immediate families of Pastor Lake and the young girl.
This is from the church’s website as of 2:42 p.m. Sunday.
This morning, Sunday October 30th, our pastor Kyle Lake was involved in an accident during a baptism and was transported by EMS to a nearby hospital. At this time we don’t know his status but it is very serious. Everyone here is praying for him and we ask you to do the same. We will do our best to keep updates coming as we learn more.
Thank You,
UBC
