Many of you have inquired about ways to help. Currently, there are two main ways that the family has advocated: a) Donations to a fund that is currently being established as a memorial for Kyle. The Memorial fund is a scholarship fund for the children and to provide for family needs. We are able to take contributions to this immediately. Please make your check payable to University Baptist Church, and on the “Memo” line note: “Kyle Lake Memorial.” b) Donations to University Baptist Church directly, which may be made through the PayPal link at the below or as a check to 1701 Dutton Ave., Waco, TX 76706 (all mail will be forwarded to a business PO Box that is being obtained). More than anything, we truly covet your prayers during these trying times. We’ve lost an amazing leader and we’re relying on support from both within and outside of the UBC community as we try to move forward. |

RELEASE From: Re: Dated:
The
congregation of University Baptist Church continues to mourn
the loss of its pastor Kyle Lake as a result of an accidental
electrocution at services on Sunday, October 30, 2005. The
determination of the cause of the accident is being reviewed
by technical professionals and authorities. We have no further
information available to us at this time about the cause of
this tragedy. As a result of the need to allow for the evaluation
of the facilities and this accident, Sunday services for November
6, 2005 for University Baptist Church will be moved to the
chapel at Truett Seminary.
Our
focus at this time is to mourn the loss of Kyle Lake and to
celebrate his life with his family, the University Baptist
Church congregation and the community.
The
funeral services have been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday,
November 1, 2005 at First Baptist Church of Waco, 500 Webster
– corner of 5th and Clay. Viewing is at 12:00 noon.
On
the morning of Sunday October 30th, our pastor We are confident that Kyle is in heaven today because of his trust in
Jesus Christ as his Savior. “And
this is the testimony: God
has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He
who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son
of God does not have life. I
write these things to you who believe in the name of
the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal
life. “ -1
