URGENT: Breaking: 5 Missionaries shot in Mosul, Iraq - Prayer Alert
Email | None

Posted on 03/15/2004 12:13:01 PM PST by PetroniusMaximus

Within the last hour 5 missionaries were shot in Mosul, Iraq. Their condition is critical and we need to pray now that the military will be able to get to their position and take them to the military hospital in Baghdad. One of them was able to call leadership that he was in and out of consciousness himself. The next several hours are critical! Please be on your knees for these 5 people. Please pray for God's hand to sustain them and to guard their lives.

Thank you for your prayer during this time. Further updates will be sent as soon as we learn more information.

...these are Southern Baptist Missionaries…. Just happened

This is all I have.

Thanks for the quick news. Prayers ascending. Let the world note that missionaries are targets of the terrorists as well as our military.

""Missionary, Missionary, leave us alone - we've got a God of our own" -- a Sioux song"

Rather freakin' tasteless. You just weren't raised right.

Careful now! There are some here that will assume you are contemptuous of their religion. You know, like some people are of the one that originated in the Middle East.

It's high time to use the "Black Jack" Pershing method of stopping Muslim terrorists.

"3 American civilians shot to death in Iraq
Associated Press

March 15, 2004 IRAQ16
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Three American civilians were killed and two wounded in a drive-by shooting Friday in the northern city of Mosul, the U.S. military said.

U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Tom Gilroy, a military spokesman in Baghdad, said the victims worked for a non-governmental organization. The wounded were being treated at the U.S. Army combat support hospital in Mosul.

U.S. Lt. Col. Joseph Piek, a spokesman for American forces in Mosul, said in an e-mail message that the victims were traveling in one car on the eastern side of the city when they were attacked.

Witnesses said they saw victims lying on the street and inside the car, including a man in the front passenger's side with his seat belt fastened."

You probably have no idea how missionaries work.
