Covenanters Reported Safe Amid Congo Violence<\/h5>\n

Ralph Sturdy<\/em> of Lincoln, NE, writes: Curt and Roger are both friends of many years. Joyce and I are praying with and for them and the brothers and sisters of the Congo. I can’t help but remember being in seminary chapel with Wes Swanson as we prayed for the safe release of our medical missionary Dr. Paul Carlson. These days bring back that memory. This time we pray that the outcome will be different. God bless and peace to Curt and Roger’s families.<\/p>\n

Bill Medlyn<\/em> of Goleta, CA, writes: We hold you, Curt and Roger, in our prayers as well as Marti and Roger’s wife, Eileen. May our Lord protect and comfort you both in this trial.<\/p>\n

Jim Halvorsen<\/em> of Santa Barbara, CA, write: Our thoughts and prayers and those of Montecito Covenant Church are with you. We pray for your quick and safe return.<\/p>\n
