Update on Conakry

Posted By Beth On January 15, 2007 @ 6:42 am In Uncategorized | No Comments

We are asking for your prayers for Guinea right now. First of all, things have remained calm up to today. The girls and I got off on Saturday morning without incident. We spent Sunday getting Katie’s room all set up and she started class this morning. I’ve been able to keep in touch with Tim daily. I had heard that there was to be a big march today and that there could be some trouble.

Just heard from Tim that the trouble has started. It started with some random attacks on vehicles. Since then there have been outbreaks of riots and rock throwing. At first the police were not around but eventually the police and military began coming out in force. they have been shooting tear gas and Tim said that some people have been shot. They are keeping the streets clear “at all costs”. So far Tim hasn’t seen anything in our neighborhood so we’re hoping it will be contained and settled down and not spread.

So for right now please just pray that everything can stay calm and there is no more violence. Pray for all the missionaries in that area. As I said, Tim is fine. Another missionary gal came and picked up Donna and took her to her house so that she is not alone. That was a huge blessing. I will try to send out updates as I can and as I hear. Thanks for your prayers!
