   Urgent Prayer Request   

Please keep Coach Philip Haywood in your prayers. He was in an auto accident this morning and has been transferred to UK. As of now, according to his daughter, Melissa, we know he has 2 punctured lungs, a hematoma on the brain and a cervical fracture.

Coach Haywood has been a great mentor, educator, and pillar of the community all the way to the greatest high school football coach in the State of Kentucky. He has dedicated countless hours of his life mentoring and coaching our children for decades. Please give him the time lifting him up in prayer, that he has given to our children and a lot of us during our life as young men and women. Praying that God touches him and heals him in a quick and speedy recovery!!

 It’s time to put our FAITH in God and pray bring our Pond Creek Nation FAMILY together and pray for our FOOTBALL coach Philip Haywood 

Prayers for Coach Haywood and his family.

First off we want to thank everyone for the continued prayers for Coach Haywood and his family. Coach is at UK and receiving great care, he is stable and responsive.  Coach is a very private and humble man however, due to the healing process please have respect for Coach and his family. We know many will want to come and see him but at this time he just needs your prayers. Thanks to everyone who has reached out and prayed., and are continuing to pray. We will give updates as we receive them at the consent of the family.

The best I can tell the information has dried up.  I understand the family wanting their privacy and I agree with that, but I am not sure no news at this point is good news.

Anyone?

Continued prayers for coach Haywood. Fine man with a great family.

Prayers for the family and Belfry Community.

I received word that Coach Haywood passed away this afternoon.
