Bro. & Sis Wickard I asked the Sankeys to travel up to San Antonio, TX on behalf of Bible Methodist Missions to express our concerns and love to Sam and Nancy Davis in this terrible time of suffering for him. Sam Davis and his wife Nancy have been missionaries to Mexico for many years. Sam was burned severely while working on a piece of equipment when some gasoline he was using ignited and caught him on fire. He had to be life-flighted out of Mexico to the burn center in San Antonio to spare his life and get the treatment he desperately needs. This cost them more than $12,000.00. Bible Methodist Missions is sending an offering to help with this great expense!
I asked Marc to give us a report of their visit! Thank You Marc for making the trip and sharing your experience with us!

Melodie and I have just returned from a quick trip to San Antonio to
visit Sam and Nancy Davis at the Brook Army Medical Center. Though I have heard of Sam and Nancy Davis and in a round about way have some family connections, I had never met them. I was directed to his hospital room when I arrived and found a very gracious and kind reception there. I found out that Sam and Nancy Davis have been missionaries together in Mexico for 33 years and also found them to be precious and determined servants of the Lord.
The story is horrific and I will leave the details for them to share
with you when they believe it is fitting. Suffice it to say, Bro. Sam Davis is still with us because of the sovereign protection of a loving God. He suffered burns from his chest to his knees - most of them, Nancy told me, are 3rd degree burns. Praise welled up in my heart as Bro. Davis told me how he could not extinguish the flames by rolling on the ground or any other method and finally cried out to God in desperation to stop the flames and they immediately ceased. Someone just "happened" to stop by during this
whole ordeal and was able to direct them to the hospital. They shared with me some hair-raising stories about the emergency room/hospital there in Mexico.
Tomorrow (Thursday) he will be having the first of several skin grafts. I do not know exactly what time or how long this surgery will last but I know the Davises will appreciate your prayers tomorrow (12-1-05) especially as the healing process begins to take place. Bro. and Sis. Davis have already been through so much in recent days. Bro. Sam shared with me that in all of his life, even though he has experienced broken bones, car accidents, a plane crash, back surgeries, etc. the pain he endured with this incident was on a totally different scale from anything he has previously experienced.
Melodie and I shared a small financial gift and a get well card with
them. I am sure that anything that you send to them will be not only
greatly appreciated but desperately needed as the bills begin to mount. After having prayer with the Davises, I left the hospital room with new friends and renewed confidence in the healing power and miraculous grace of our Lord.
Blessings,
Marc Sankey
