I have just received word from people in our church that the oldest daughter of Ivan and JoAnne Martin, missionaries in Zimbabwe, was murdered last night by someone trying to rob her. Karen leaves behind a husband and three children. Please pray for her family...

bump to the top of my prayer list. Inspite of the WTC being on our front page we need to remember that evil is everywhere. I hope it consoles you to know that they are home now. My prayers are with you. "Oh death where is thy victory, oh grave where is thy sting."

What the hell was she doing standing in front of the speeding train? Sounds like an egalitarian liberal do-gooder got what was coming because she was too stupid to get out of the way.

Your comment is unbelievably insensitive and should have been kept to yourself. Many people's kids do stupid things and kill themselves but that doesn't mean you should attack a family in their grief. I MEAN THAT. Unfortunately your analysis of her unwise behavior is true

Incredible as it may seem Christian missionaries believe a person's sould is redeemable. So they preach.

In light of events in Indonesia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, and now attacks against our own country I'm beginning the think the 'Spanish Model' of prostelytizing should be reconsidered.

I have no idea how or why Karen was killed, I don't even know her family. I haven't a clue as to her race or even her denomination...all I know is that a family is grieving and needs the comfort of knowing that others are praying for them. To those of you offering prayer support for this family, my sincere thanks.

Father,

Bless and comfort this family during this time of tragic loss. Give this family strength to carry on Your work, Father, and let them know Your joy and restore them, in Jesus name,
Amen
