Don't miss the brief backgrounder by WSJ Asia's Leslie Hooks on the Korean hostages in Afghanistan. In sum, they are Christians doing short-term, educational and medical mission work (no overt evangelism, by the way) in one of the world's most troubled nations.
The piece is useful because of its balanced, informed discussion of a phenomenon that American Christians need to get hip to: the fact that more missionaries are going to other countries from countries other than the United States than are going from the United States.
Keep praying for our sisters and brothers still held hostage.

Its been interesting to watch from over here, especially since I share an office with the Korean chaplain in country. The most amazing part of this all has been the locals of Ghazni protesting the taliban and wishing the hostages let go.
