1st that he is alright and be i just got this message from him today
hi amy- it´s good to hear from you. it´s been a while huh? Well i and my team thank you for your prays. they are in need right now. We are in the middle of an outreach in Morocco. Morocco is arab muslim nation and and although the government sides with the USA, the people side with Bin Laudin and his organization and the Taliban. In fact just last night we had to flee the country in a midnight Exodus. Under the cover of night we had to board a train for a 3 hour ride to Rabot (the capital) and then at 1:00 in the moring take another train for 5 hours to the port of Tangier on the north coast of Africa. Then we took a 3 hour ferry rige across the strait of Gibralter into the saftey of Spain. We are now staying in the town of Algeciras which is slightly south of Malaga. As far as what i think about what happened. What Bin Lauden did is not a reflection of the Arab people by any means and is mearly an act of the radical traditonal muslims. The religion of Islam is atually against such acts and athough it is a false religion at least is a religion of love for people. It does not deture me from bringing the love and redemtion of Christ to the arab nations. It mearly spurs me on and shows me more clearly the nead that these people have for truth that only God can show them. Thank you for writing, and i hope this helps with your assignment.
