Pray for Tony and for German Family's Daughters

[274] prayers in [23] nations have been posted for Tony and Hentschel family.

The German Ministry for Foreign Affairs received word last month that three German citizens, kidnapped in Yemen in 2009, are confirmed dead. Dr. Johannes Hentschel, his wife Sabine and their three children, Anna, Lydia and Simon, were abducted along with four other foreigners by Yemeni insurgents on June 12, 2009. All of the adult hostages had worked at a hospital and were part of an international aid group, and sources state that Dr. Johannes had been threatened for his evangelism to Muslims in the area. The group was targeted for their Christian activities. The bodies of three of the women kidnapped were found shortly after their abduction along with Christian literature in their belongings. The couple’s two older children, ages 4 and 6, were rescued by security forces in May 2010 and now live with relatives in Germany. The whereabouts of the last kidnap victim, Tony, a British engineer, remain unknown. Pray for his well-being or for closure for his family. And pray for the family of the Hentschels, including their surviving daughters.
