PRAYER REQUEST FROM FOURSQUARE INTERNATIONAL

A Foursquare worker in Afghanistan recently reported that there was an attack on the Afghanistan outreach center. Insurgents raided the center with bazookas, killing the Muslim night watchman, and capturing and brutally torturing three of the center's key leaders.

Upon release, two of those captured were hospitalized in Afghanistan and the third was air-lifted to Pakistan to receive hospitalization. The center was severely damaged in the attack--half of the library was burned and windows were broken. Miraculously, though, two computers were spared. The landlord for the property is assisting in the situation, and has promised to back the center until the situation is rectified.

The Foursquare worker will fly to Pakistan as soon as visas are made available to assist the leader who is hospitalized there.

Please pray for: the swift recovery of those hospitalized, the worker to obtain a visa quickly (currently there is a six month ban on entrance into Pakistan), the protection of those who are affiliated with the outreach center, and a quick rebuilding of the center.

Thank you for praying,

Jonathan Hall
V.P. of Global Operations and Director of Missions
