Is it against a calling to use common sense and be aware of the surroundings...to be prepared, not knowingly endanger others?

ALL are asked to wait for a military escort before traveling in Iraq.

Christians should know better than anyone how any attacks will be used by the Enemy to hurt their and OUR cause in Iraq.

They should wait for an escort. Sorry. They just endangered our troops, and our war effort.

There are many missionaries in Islamic lands and they do convert many to Christianity. Many of these gentle people work in extremely hazardous regions delivering basic health care and foodstuffs. Although they keep a rather low profile, everyone knows who they are and who they represent. Despite the official Islamic position, they are generally left alone to quietly proselytize and take care of the needs of the local population.

A missionary friend of mine just got home from Africa and he and his mission team baptized 11,000 people in one week. It is a Muslim country.

Missionaries frequently go into areas that are dangerous, otherwise their help would be needed. They are extraordinarily courageous people and deserve our support, financially and in prayer.

At the moment, I have relatives who are missionaries in Tibet and prayers for their safety and success would be much appreciated.
