A Very Serious Post: Please Read

I received a very unsettling email from Campus for Christ tonight. It seems that Graydon Baker and Byron Bright, who have been serving as long-term missionaries in Tanzania, have become lost in the African jungle. They went for a hike Sunday afternoon, accompanied by a guide. When the guide headed-back early Graydon and Byron decided to press on without him. They have a cell phone with them and have been able to call for help but, as they do not know their exact location, rescue attempts have been difficult. Already they have been out in the wild for two days; their food and water have run out.

If you see this posting, please pray for Graydon and Byron and that the Lord would be with them as a pillar for strength. Let us be optimistic and pray that through this ordeal Graydon and Byron’s faith would be strengthened. Let us even pray for all those lives in Tanzania who still need to hear the Gospel and need witnesses such as Graydon and Byron to bring the Lord’s word to them. Let us pray and remember above all that none of this, no nothing at all, is ever above the might and power of our God who can work all for good and for His glory.

Daniel 6:25-28
Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you. I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,

for he is the living God,
enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed,
and his dominion shall be to the end.
He delivers and rescues;
he works signs and wonders
in heaven and on earth,
he who has saved Daniel
from the power of the lions."

So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
