> It's 5:30 am here in Newfoundland (3:00 am CDT).  Denis phoned an hour ago
> to say that there had been an armed attack on Murree Christian School,
> where Aaron attends.  I think it would have been during the lunch hour
> there, but no students were injured.
>
> The school compound is surrounded by a wall which had just been made
> higher and stronger this summer.  Gunmen approached the school, killed the
> Pakistani guards, and injured two other people:  a mother from the
> Philippines, who serves in Afghanistan, and a Pakistani staff member.
>
> Denis was phoning from Rawalpindi, where he had gone to work at the studio
> for the day.  He was leaving right away to go back to Murree (1 1/2 hour
> drive) to be with Aaron.
>
> Please pray for the whole missionary community, who were just recovering
> from the drowning of an MCS dad last month.  Please pray especially for
> Aaron.  He was probably the only one at the school who was also at the
> church on March 17.
>
> I'll let you know more as I find out how he's doing, etc.  I'm typing with
> five fingers, so e-mailing is difficult.

> Thanks for your prayers.
