RECAP regarding the murder and persecution of Christians and the slow release of the Christian hostages by the Taliban (Taleban):

BBC NEWS: "TALEBAN RELEASE S. KOREAN HOSTAGES" (August 29, 2007)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Deal The releases come a day after the South Korean government said it had reached a deal with the Taleban. South Korea has agreed to withdraw troops from Afghanistan as scheduled by the end of the year. It also said it would end all missionary work in the country and stop its citizens from travelling there. There has been no mention of money being paid, but it is thought that a ransom may have been part of the deal, says the BBC's Alastair Leithead in Kabul. The Taleban appear to have dropped their earlier demand that Taleban members be released from Afghan prisons in exchange for the hostages' freedom. A Taleban representative, Mullah Basheer, said all 19 would be released "step by step" in the coming week. "One of our main demands has not been accepted, but our other demands were welcomed. All of the Koreans will be released in less than a week." Speaking in Japan, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government would not change its strategy in light of the release of the hostages. One German national is still being held in Afghanistan. Another German national, who was kidnapped at the same time, died of a heart attack. "The federal government is trying hard to obtain the release of the hostages we have in Afghanistan," Ms Merkel said. "All necessary efforts are being made. In my view, the situation concerning the South Korean hostages will not change in the way we are dealing with it. We are, through the crisis committee, very much involved and engaged and making everything possible for the liberation of the hostages.""

God is love.
Jihad is evil.

Unfortunately, when one makes deals with evil people; more evil will be done.

Dear Lord,

Thank You for watching over the Christian hostages.
Thank You Lord for your boundless love.
Your will, Your power, Your glory is awesome.
I fear that people do not understand all that You are.

Your will be done Lord.

In Jesus’ Holy name I pray this humble prayer.
Amen.

Thank you for all links!
Latest BBC News is that a ransom was paid by Korean government.
I agree with your prayer :)

[rimtop56]

Yes, we thank our great and mighty God—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus—for answering our prayers. He is great and greatly to be praised. He is sovereign! All other gods are false and worthless!

[Kitty Mittens]

Ministry spokesman says prayers answered in S. Korean hostage stand-off
by OneNewsNow.

GOD IS SO GOOD!

[Cindy]

Thank you tajgirvan.

Generally speaking, it is important to know that once a ransom is paid; part or all of that ransom money will be used for the purpose of killing and persecuting more innocent victims and killing/injuring our troops.

Dear Lord,

Please watch over our missionaries and our troops worldwide.
You hear our prayers.
Your will be done.

In Jesus’ Holy name I pray this prayer and hand my concerns to You.
Amen.
