Need prayers for arjay18 and his city

#1

Post by chuck_roxas45 »

My friend and fellow knife and gun nut, arjay18, lives in Zamboanga City. Hostilities have broken out between the government and a muslim group there and the city is under attack by the group. The situation is volatile. Fighting is going on less than 5kms from his area. I would greatly appreciate your prayers for him and all the people who are drawn into the danger through no fault of theirs. I thank you in all humility.

Chuck,
This is very bad news.
I will pray.

Prayers sent, kabayan!

The things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. People are good; honor, courage, virtue mean everything; power and money mean nothing; good always triumphs over evil; true love never dies. A man should believe in those things, because they are worth believing in.

Thank you very much guys. Arjay18 said that there's a current attack by the government side but that it's hampered by the human shields. May be a protracted affair. Crazy world indeed.
