"Fear lives with us"

This monday morning four men were found dead on a busy highway in Philippi. Their hands were tied and they had been stoned to death--execution style. We don't know any other details--only rumors. But this is another incident in a recent spate of crime in the community. Yesterday at a staff meeting Elizabeth commented that "fear lives with us...." Please pray that God would transform these fears into a determination to see justice; that the people of Philippi wouldn't feel ashamed of these instances but would rather be indignant and seek development and reconciliation rather than allow further division.
