I will for sure. What COWARDS these freaks are who hold no value for human life (other than their own power mad selves). Now they hide behind the lives of innocents-hoping this will protect their own brutal, piggish selves. WHAT COWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!! What ineffective men.

This is terrible, but not unexpected. The Taliban are cowards who will use innocents as human shields. I pray that they come out safely (the missionaries that is)

Glad the know where they're going ultimately.

Glad their tickets are paid.

Glad they have been "no fools to give up what they cannot keep to gain what they cannot lose."

Glad their Hope is Eternal and altogether Good.

Glad their inheritances are incorruptable.

Glad their Real Lives cannot be taken.

Sounds frighteningly similiar to what Hitler did with the German pastor that had opposed him, one Dietrich Bonhoeffer, at the very end of WWII. Lets pray for a different result (Bonhoeffer was killed).

Bonhoeffer's most often quoted line: "When Christ bids a man, He bids him come and die" from The Cost of Discipleship.

"Peaceful Islam" using Christian women as shields. Islamic leadership's silence reveals the extent of Islamic hypocrisy.

Jesus said that unless you were willing to give up your life to follow Him you would not be much use in the Kingdom. We need to keep these two American gals in prayer and the others in their group.But I am sure they have a place in heaven if the Taliban uses them as shields, the outcome for the Taliban for eternity is the opposite place of where these servants of the Lord will be.Be vigilant about the things of God and pray for his people.

This is a good case of "trust in God but check your ammunition." While of course if God wants them for martyrs He'll have them, all the same I'd like to see them rescued by the Turkish Special Forces - who while they probably have no love for Christians, have even less for the Taliban.

My daughter Demi wrote an article about fear for Crosswalk and it was published yesterday. Last night I couldn't sleep because the girls were once again on my mind. I couldn't believe what I'd heard this morning.

Me, too. Reading the replies, I realized my error. The victims were hauled off -- again. Upsetting to say the least.

Much as I hope that these woman will survive...I also hope that it will be a lesson to missionaries and aid workers. Do not go into unstable countries...and cause a risk to others lives by your choice.

If they have been removed by the Taliban to the south, there is a very good possibility that they may be killed by American bombing. Unfortunately, a speeding truck rushing out of a falling city looks like any other.

Great column by your daughter. You should be very proud of her (as I'm sure you are). I noticed the bio said she appeared on "Politically Incorrect" to discuss teen abstinence. Talk about going into a lions' den!
