Pastor Abducted In Egypt

http://news.yahoo.com/family-fears-m...231352446.html

The family of a Boston Pentecostal pastor abducted in Egypt on Saturday appealed to his captor to release the 61-year-old man, saying he is a diabetic and the family fears for his health.

The son of Rev. Michel Louis told The Associated Press that his father was on a church trip to retrace Jesus' steps through the Holy Land with 23 other members of the clergy and worshippers when he was abducted. Along with him, a 39-year-old Boston woman in the group and a tour guide were kidnapped in broad daylight Friday.

I hope and believe that he will be alright.
May God comfort his heart, the hearts of his companions, and the hearts of all of their loved ones.

Re: Pastor Abducted In Egypt

Since the fall of the previous government there has been a rash of kidnappings of Western tourists by Bedouin's looking to trade them for the release of jailed relatives.

So far in every instance the kidnapped persons have been freed unharmed. I pray that is the case this time also.

The Mubarak government made protecting the tourist trade a big priority and came down hard on anything like this and that is why it did not happen with frequency until now.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
