Peterson and retired Covenant medical missionary Roger Thorpe unexpectedly found themselves caught in the crossfire of a military confrontation last week in Kinshasa, Congo. In his letter, Peterson recounts those harrowing hours and just how dangerously close they came to losing their own lives in the conflict.
