Tragedy in the Philippines

Eight Hong Kong tourists held hostage by the kidnapper were killed yesterday in Manila. It was a sad day for Hong Kong people and a also for the Filipinos.

Having served for three years in the Philippines, we are familiar with the area mentioned. We all need to pray for the Hong Kong people, particularly the relatives of those who lost their lives and those still in hospital. May the Lord grant healing.

Let us pray for President Bengino Aquino. No one desired this tragedy to happen, least of all the President. He and the nation need our prayers especially at a time like this.

My wife and I served in Hong Kong for seven and a half years (1983- 1990) From there we were appointed to the Philippines where we served for three years 1990-1993. We count it a privilege to serve in these countries.
