Book Suggestion:

Prisoners of Hope: The Story of Our Captivity and Freedom in Afghanistan
by Dayna Curry, Heather Mercer,



"Heather Mercer and Dayna Curry decided to go to help people who needed help. Their faith led them to Afghanistan. One woman who knows them best put it this way: they had a calling to serve the poorest of the poor, and Afghanistan is where that calling took them. And Heather and Dayna's faith in God sustained them throughout their ordeal. It's a wonderful story about prayer, about a faith that can sustain people in good times and in bad times. Their faith was a source of hope that kept them from becoming discouraged. I talked to them right after their release, their freedom, and I sensed no bitterness in their voice, no fatigue, just joy. It was an uplifting experience for me to talk to these courageous souls." – President George W. Bush

They were at our church a little while ago to speak to our
18-30 somethings. What an unbelievable story. Many, many people were very moved by what they had to say.

I saw their book in the store yesterday. Waiting for the sale, before I pick it up.

I also heard them speak. What I found so incredible is that even though they were put in jail for evangelizing, they were still aloud to have a Bible in prision. What a mixed up country. Looks like a good book.
