Please Pray

Have you read about the South Korean church workers that are being held hostage in Afghanistan? It is a horrible situaiton that seems to be getting worse. On July 19th a group of 23 church volunteers from South Korea were taken hostage as they traveled by bus along the Kabul-Kandahar highway. The church team, composed mostly of women, was in Afghanistan on a medical mission.

Tragically, since their capture, two members of the church team - the pastor and a volunteer have lost their lives. The situation remains extremely critical for the remaining 21 members of the South Korean church group. There is spleculation that some are being released and speculation that some are set to be executed. No one really knows what's going on - please pray for our brothers and sisters!
