Bowling Family during the night. "The Gospel music community is a family," stated
Sheri Easter. "When one of our own falls, we all want to come together to lift
them up. Jeff and I know they would do the same for us and we are honored to
be a part of this
special night."
Jason Crabb
continued, "Everyone knows that Mike, Kelly and Terah
are my family, but this is a ministry that needs our help. We
want everyone to
come and lift up their needs with us. We will pray, sing and watch the
Heavens open up."
On July 1st, the Bowling Family was involved in a horrible bus accident just
outside of Charlotte, NC. Everyone was taken to a nearby hospital, with Mike
being life flighted from the scene. Although there are many broken bones,
bumps and bruises, everyone on the bus is expected to make a full recovery.
Doctors have explained to them that the road to recovery is long. Mike has
a fractured skull and multiple injuries to his face, along with a broken
wrist. Kelly has a broken vertebrae and foot. She is confined to a
hospital bed and body brace for several months and surgery is still
questionable. Terah has an injured arm and is in pain, but overall is well.
Katelanne, Mike and Kelly's six-year-old daughter, has a broken collar bone.
She has already had plastic surgery to repair a deep laceration on her face.
The entire Bowling Family feels extremely blessed to be alive. They will
not be released from doctors care to resume their road schedule for several
months depending on their progress. Proceeds from the concert will provide
relief for the family during this time.
