Brave Missionaries in Scary Places
Mon., December 05, 2005
Following is part of an email I recently received from our team leader in Bangladesh:
Yesterday, while everybody was busy at work, the nation was rocked by several bombs again. Islamic militants bombed Chittagong and Dhaka together. This time they used suicide bombers. Recently they have targeted judges because most judges uphold the law of the land rather than Islamic law. This same group blasted more than 500 bombs in September. It was a world record. Lots of innocent Bengalis have lost their lives because of this foolishness, but it is still going on. People are in mourning today. Many diplomats and mission groups are on the hit list, but we believe we are safe. We are crying out for God's mercy and grace for our country. Please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.
If 500 bombs went off in one month here in the Philippines, or even if two went off the same day, it would dominate local and international news. This happens in Bangladesh and the rest of the world ignores it. Why? Maybe because Bangladesh is one of the poorest nations in the world and it is not exactly the destination of choice for international media people. Even if most of the world does not care, God does. Jesus paid the same price for 154 million poor Bengalis as he did for Filipinos and Americans.
Please pray for our Every Nation missionaries who are serving God in some of the most difficult, dangerous, and least Christian places in the world.
