a little stunned

Last night we found out some news that I could not believe. I totally thought someone was pulling my leg.

Two nights ago, the base in Trinidad where we were was attacked by 5-6 masked men, looking to steal a ministry vehicle that actually wasn't there at the time. The director was shot in the neck and his wife in the hip, all the while their children watching. Somehow, their condition is not life-threatening. As of last night, the director was awaiting an MRI and his wife was needing surgery.

It seems completely surreal. I know that people get shot every day, but these are people we ministered with just weeks ago! When it does sink in a little bit, I just feel overwhelmed, especially for the kids. The boy is 11 and the girl is 14ish. I can hardly imagine how traumatized they are, having watched their parents nearly killed.

Obviously, we are all praying. A picture of the couple can be found here.

last I heard, the husband was okay to be released from the hospital, but he was staying with his wife, who still had procedures to be done.
