Heritage Christian School expressed its heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the prayer vigil on Friday for Hope Stines, Preston Angus, Elijah Bradtmueller, and Kingston Raber following the accident on 25 April.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us at the prayer vigil for Hope Stines, Preston Angus, Elijah Bradtmueller, and Kingston Raber following Friday’s accident. Your presence, prayers, and support have been a powerful testimony of love and faith during this difficult time.
We humbly ask our school community to continue lifting these students before the Lord — praying for His healing, His comfort, and His strength to be upon them, their families, and their friends as they recover.
As Scripture exhorts us, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).
May we remain steadfast in prayer, trusting in God’s unfailing love and sovereign care in this time of great need.

In the 2026 season, Preston, 17, set a personal record in the 5000 meters at 21:19.3 at the FlashRock Invitational.

Earlier that season, he ran 23:56.6 at the THSB Invitational.

Emergency responders arrived quickly, taking the students to local hospitals for urgent care.

Hope Stines, a junior at Heritage Christian, is remembered by her friends and teachers as a bright, caring individual with a talent for bringing joy to everyone around her.

She is involved in the school’s choir and drama programs.

Similarly, Elijah Bradtmueller, a sophomore at Heritage Christian, stood out among the school’s STEM and robotics clubs.

Kingston Raber, the youngest freshman, is active in the school’s worship team and youth ministry.

Moreover, Preston Angus is a bright and driven Indianapolis student preparing to begin his fall college journey at Miami University.

He plans to study Psychology and Entrepreneurship.

Many have poured kind words, memories, and heartfelt messages to support all four students involved in the accident.

Praying and have asked others to pray. I’m Claire and Keegan Fick’s grandmother and met Hope a week ago. This hit me hard and I know it has hit all of you much harder. Hug your family extra hard when they leave the house.
