Prayer for David

My brother in law David is in Afghanistan as part of the International Police Force. Right now they are in a very dangerous area. This is his most recent email to his wife (my husband's sister). David is the one standing in the back row, second from right. We pray for their safety and the safety of all those serving over there.


Tuesday morning here. We came to do reports. When we were in Takhar yesterday, the border police came in and said they stopped a bus and found four IED devices on board. It was found about two miles from our compound. They just came in and said one of the checkpoints we went through yesterday was attacked, and all the local police officers were killed. So things seem to be heating up. Some probably because their new year starts in three days.
Miss talking to you and the girls everyday. They are saying they are trying to get wireless to our hooch's in about ten days to two weeks. Only problem with that is that my wireless doesn't work to good. Just wanted to say hey.


Letter from my sister in law regarding her husband Dave. This was dated 3/19/07

I just wanted to ask you-all to say an extra prayer for David. They have sent David and three other Dyncorp guys to live at the German base, which is just a half a mile from where he was. They are going out in Humvees, which is better as far as safety, but they are more of a target being with the military.

With this move, he is unable to communicate like before as the German base is not equipped with Internet access at this time. I have talked to him just one time for about 2 minutes the last three days. He was fine when I heard from him late last night. They were getting ready to leave on a convoy. He didn't specify where, but to an area where they were having problems.

I saw on the news that they had one of their convoys hit today in Kabul. I haven't not heard from David today and assume that he is okay, but it is a emotionally draining not knowing 100 percent that he is okay.

Please say a special prayer for him and the men he is serving with in the Army that the Lord will keep them safe.

Thanks
