10 Missionaries Killed

I know I usually post something humorous and light on Monday. Not today. Sorry about that.

I wanted to tell you about some missionaries that were killed last week. This article says that:

Ten members of a medical team, including six Americans, were shot and killed by militants as they were returning from providing eye treatment and other health care in remote villages in northern Afghanistan, a spokesman for the team said Saturday..Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that they killed the foreigners because they were “spying for the Americans” and “preaching Christianity.”

You can read the rest of the article here. It is very sad.

I wanted to let know about it because missionaries often risk their lives every day in order to bring some level of healing, both physical and hopefully spiritual, to people. Say what you want about Christians, but these types of people represent the best of us.

So perhaps take a moment to remember them today and pray for their families.
