Plane Crash Kills Teen Mania Staff Member

In an absolutely horrific tragedy yesterday, 4 people were killed in a plane crash.  One of them was a Teen Mania staff member. I’m told that as of right now, Hannah Luce is the only survivor and she is in critical condition with burns on about 1/3 of her body.

If you are still the praying type, please pray for Hannah and the families of the other victims. There are really no words to describe what a horrible tragedy this is.

From the Teen Mania Press Release:

Teen Mania Friends and Family:

We are sad to announce that five individuals on board a flight to Acquire The Fire in Council Bluffs, Iowa were involved in a plane crash around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. The plane went down in rural southeastern Kansas, and three of the five on board died at the scene. Please be in prayer for the families of Luke Sheets, Garrett Coble, and Stephen Luth, who went to be with the Lord yesterday.
Hannah Luce and Austin Anderson were also onboard the plane when it crashed and were able to walk to a nearby roadway and get help. However, both Hannah and Austin suffered severe injuries and were life-flighted to hospitals in Kansas City and Wichita, respectively. Hannah is listed in serious but stable condition, suffering primarily from burns on 28 percent of her body. Sadly, Austin succumbed to his injuries at 5:30 this morning and went to be with the Lord.

The entire Teen Mania family is mourning the loss of four young lives who were full of so much promise and love for God. All were friends of Teen Mania, and two of them, Austin and Stephen, were newly hired to Teen Mania’s staff to join our marketing team. Please pray that God surrounds the families of Austin, Stephen, Luke and Garrett with His love and peace in this extremely difficult time.

Please also hold up Hannah and the Luce family in your prayers as she continues to recover from her injuries. Ask that God give Hannah strength and healing, and that He also surround her parents, brother and sister with His peace and love.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement!

I want to say thank you for posting this

Wow…so tragic…I am praying for the families that lost their loved ones as well as strength, endurance and peace for Hannah and the Luce’s.

Nicksays:May 12, 2012 10:44 AM

Seriously what a horrible tragedy indeed. 2 of them were actually staff members that were recent graduates of ORU and recently brought on board as a part of the marketing department at TM. When the crash happened, 3 of the guys died on impact while Hannah and Garrett were able to walk to a nearby road to get help. Garrett later died from his injuries. Hannah received the least of the injuries but is still in critical condition.

Nicksays:May 12, 2012 10:47 AM

Scratch that, that was supposed to say Austin and Hannah were able to walk to a nearby road to get help. Austin actually pulled Hannah from the wreckage, saving her life but he later died of his injuries

I don’t pray any more, but my heart is sad for all involved and my thoughts are with them and their families.

No thanks.

Prayers for all the family and friends and for Hannah’s recovery.

Anon at 12:26, your comment was inappropriate under these extremely sad circumstances. Totally unnecessary.

My heart goes out to the families of all those affected – as a mother, I cannot even fathom how heartbreaking this is for all involved.

Anonymoussays:May 12, 2012 2:10 PM

i don’t understand why you guys would even post this story, you hate Teen Mania. Sad for Ron Luce…

We may hate teen mania, but we’re not heartless. A tragedy is a tragedy.

Anonymoussays:May 12, 2012 2:53 PM

what if Anon at 12:26 was Ron Luce… whats the definition of heartless again?

Anonymoussays:May 12, 2012 2:54 PM

…Teen Mania is his blood sweat and tears!

Wow, I’m really surprised anyone would object to us praying for the victim’s family’s….Whatever you think of us, we don’t want to see anyone harmed.

Dear Micah and all those who post here.
We may not always get along or agree witheach other. however we can agree on some things. First and formost thank you for posting this. It means alot to all of us that you did this. No matter what differences we may have ots awsome thay we can still stand with each other when sad tragic events like this. We are all one family riflght?

Thank you again Micah.

Anonymoussays:May 12, 2012 11:32 PM

I agree with alot of you. No matter what you think of Ron Luce and TMM this is tragic. Hannah is a wonderful young woman, and the other victim’s families are in my prayers. And my thoughts are with Ron and his wife Katie too even though I do not agree with they way they run TMM etc, Ron’s father was my God father and I have know Ron since we were little kids! He wasnt always that way he is now. It saddens me so much.

Doug Duncansays:May 12, 2012 11:39 PM

Very sorry to hear about this tragedy. We certainly hope that Hannah recovers, and we will pray for the families.

Brad Kellysays:May 13, 2012 10:58 AM

One of the men was also engaged. We should be praying for his former fiancee as well. Can definitely relate to thinking you’re going to marry someone and then losing that person, but losing someone to this sort of tragedy is an entirely different level of loss.

To this post: “When I googled ‘acquire the fire plane crash,’ your site came up first. Talk about salt in the wound. No thanks.”

This person obviously doesn’t understand the emotional damage that has been caused by TM and other religious organizations–no matter how well-intended they may be.

But to this person’s point, if any majority of our time is being spent maliciously attacking other human beings out of bitterness from being injured by them, then we are not only avoiding our own “recovery,” but are also deepening the wound.

Let’s just be careful that this is none of our attitudes. Mercy for all is what I say. And sometimes, extending mercy to oneself is actually more about walking away from those who haven’t extended the same in the past rather than trying to point out how wrong they are.

Just some honest thoughts. Peace.

littlegraygirlsays:May 13, 2012 12:58 PM

This is truly devastating. Hannah and her family are facing a long road to recovery. I can’t imagine what any of them must be going through right now.

I am sad for the families of the young men who lost their lives. Tragic.

littlegraygirlsays:May 13, 2012 6:42 PM

Anon 1:11,

This terrible event has just occurred and you’re going to knit-pick one tiny phrase that is completely irrelevant to the topic? Please, people, show some sensitivity right now. We’re united in our shock and sadness over the accident, and we’re united in our fervent desire to see Hannah get better and to see the families of the victims be supported during this extremely difficult time. If you want to pick a fight with RA, please do it in a different thread.

It’s really amazing any of them survived. Thank you for posting this, RA. I will be praying for sure for the families, and for the survivor. This will affect the Luces future and ministry for sure… Thank you for showing compassion.

This is terrible news, and my thoughts and prayers are certainly with the Luces and the other families involved.

(The heartless ones are the ones who hear the news of a tragedy and respond by criticizing this website for offering a compassionate response. Go away.)

When I was 15 I met Hannah in Nicaragua. She wouldn’t remember as she was probably only 3 years old or so, but it’s still fresh in my mind how smiley and full of energy she was. Ron was shadowing our team that day and he had brought his daughter with him. She thought I was funny so she kinda gravitated to me that day and followed me around. She was fearless , walking up to all the kids in the villages where we went and trying to strike up a conversation. I know she’s in her 20’s now but all I can think of is that sweet little girl I knew for a day and the pain she must be in, physically and emotionally and my heart’s broken.

Whatever I think of Teen Mania or Ron Luce, all my prayers and all my love goes out to him and Katie and their family tonight. Lord, please bless Hannah with a speedy recovery and minister to her heart that has been through this traumatizing ideal. Sooth the fear and despair that she may be tempted to feel and instead let her rest in the shadow of your wings.

Let’s all of us in Christ take this time to get some perspective. Whatever our differences, we are still brothers and sisters in the Lord. A time like this should serve to remind us of that. We can disagree with TM and it’s policies, and we can fight to make changes, but for tonight, please, let’s all be united in prayer for our sister and her family. Love you guys. All you guys. Sleep well.

Anonymoussays:May 14, 2012 7:40 AM

Very well said Mike!

Anonymoussays:May 14, 2012 7:48 AM

My heart goes out to the Luce Family and all of the families who have lost their loved ones to this horrible tragedy. I hope that Hannah will be comforted through this hard time. I understand what Mike is saying about seeing her as a young child. That’s exactly how I still remember her. I can’t think of her being in pain. I’ll be praying for sure.

This is so heartbreaking. My prayers go out to all the family and friends of those involved.

What a sad Mother’s day for the victims families.

This is why I left the Honor Academy, I left the week around Thanksgiving holiday. She and another woman came to pick me up, I was also not getting donations in, so I thought it was best to leave. The following year she died: March 31, 2001 I was homeless before I came to the HA and then went back home after my stepdad was removed from the home. Before she died she let the abusive man back in and I was once again back in the hospital due to injuries from him. I was living in the 2nd shelter when she died, I was brought up to the hospital and actually watched her die in the ICU. The next day I was sent back to the homeless shelter….

R.I.P. Momma

I’m so sad to hear this! I have been off of this site for a while as I pursue my recovery and am really shocked by some of the recent events. I am praying for all of the affected families and for Hannah’s recovery.

It’s amazing to me how someone with burns over 90% of his body could rescue a fellow passenger, and then they both were able to walk to get help…RIP, Mr. Anderson….you’re truly a hero.

In christsays:May 14, 2012 5:19 PM

Only one thing… If we are Christians, then we should always be praying…. Prayer is talking to God. So as Christians, how would we not pray? Even other religions pray.

In Christ,

Not all of us are Christians. I am an atheist, so I don’t pray, but I have kept the families in my thoughts.

Anonymoussays:May 14, 2012 8:31 PM

Not that I would like to do a debate here- but a serious question should be.. What do thoughts do? Do your thoughts really help the situation? Just seeking the truth- and how you figure it out.

Anon,

For me, thinking of someone is keeping my hopes up for them. I would argue that thoughts and prayers are similar in effectiveness…. Thoughts just are not directed at a higher power as prayer is.

Why are you calling it salt in the wound that was truly a kind thing they did posting this, get over yourself, this website isnt all about the bad side of tm.

Anonymoussays:May 15, 2012 11:02 AM

I started to learn about Teen Mania after an old classmate/now Okie pastor friend of mine posted Luce’s statement on his Facebook page for his congregation a few days ago. Upon combing the internet for information, I watched the MSNBC documentary, reviewed your site and read the piece/links from dallascult.com as well as the collective open letter from concernedalumni. I have an almost 18-year-old daughter who lives for Jesus and feels strongly about her Pentecostal youth group. I can see her or any one of her church friends trusting Luce’s ministry and falling prey to its twisted teachings. It could have happened to anyone, and I want to tell you that I am so sorry for what you endured during your time at HA and for the remaining pain as all of you continue to try to recover spiritually and emotionally.

One thing that I found stunning was that, at the time I originally looked, only 600-something had viewed the MSNBC documentary posted on YouTube despite the fact that the name of this organization has floated around churches for some time in a positive light(take my Okie minister friend, for example, who shares Ron’s posts for his congregation to read). Since the day of the plane crash and after national coverage of Marine, Austin Anderson’s involvement in Hannah Luce’s rescue, these numbers have climbed. I expect hits to your site have climbed as well. None can know God’s hand in such things, but your courage in maintaining a site where alumni can try to heal together and that the nation’s Google searches happen to land on during this time, exposing what has been going on in this organization, is commendable. Perhaps your courage coupled with the recent tragedy can bring the exposure needed to bring change and spare others the pain and grief so many have endured and continue to manage as adults. I pray so. And I pray Ron Luce might be humbled to recognition of his arrogance and false teachings so that all of you can receive healing apologies and so that the organization can either change dramatically or cease altogether.

Hang in there, Alumni. Some folks are paying attention and are seeing what is going on…BECAUSE OF YOUR COURAGE. In that sense God has used you and your experiences for a greater good. Please find comfort in that. Prayers and blessings to all of you. 🙂

Shannon-ashleysays:May 15, 2012 6:29 PM

Anonymous, thank you for your kind words. It’s encouraging for all of us who consider ourselves recovering alumni, when others outside of TMM understand what we are doing here.

This is Ron luce. I am moved to tears having read many of your kind words and thank you for praying for hannah and the families of those who perished. I sensed much grace in many comments I I hope to have that grace too

Wow! I am so saddened to hear about this tragedy. The youth involved in the crash were amazing young men and true servants of our Lord. God is so pleased with them, and I praise God that they will reign with Him forever! I thank God for Hannah’s life, and will certainly continue to keep her in prayer, along with your family amd the other families. Your ministry has been such a blessing to my teenagers and the body of Christ. Keep pressing on and know that Jesus has even greater things in store you. He is going to really use your daughter to bless so many people. To God be the glory. God bless and keep you and your family. Your sister in Christ, Valerie.

  29. Wow! I am so saddened to hear about this tragedy. The youth involved in the crash were amazing young men and true servants of our Lord. God is so pleased with them, and I praise God that they will reign with Him forever! I thank God for Hannah’s life, and will certainly continue to keep her in prayer, along with your family amd the other families. Your ministry has been such a blessing to my teenagers and the body of Christ. Keep pressing on and know that Jesus has even greater things in store you. He is going to really use your daughter to bless so many people. To God be the glory. God bless and keep you and your family. Your sister in Christ, Valerie.

  30. Actually the dagger, the ATF website was taken down internally since the season is over so it can be updated for next season
