We went to the English speaking church in San Pedro Sula today. During the time for prayer request we learned of a 10 year old boy who had been kidnapped. Two other kidnappings and two murders that had happened in the past week in San Pedro Sula. These were only the ones we heard about because they had ties to people in the church.
Rodney and Teresa (our teammates) had lunch with a doctor who is a friend of the doctor Teresa worked for in the States. The doctor and his wife explained that the last five years the crime and kidnappings have been getting worse because of the the drugs and gangs. She and their children had been the victims of a car jacking at gun point and the doctor had been kidnapped leaving his office one day. Fortunately he was able to escape unharmed.
Presently we are not experiencing any of this but the reports of others experiencing this or people that we know having ties to those who are victims is increasing. Not sure what to make of all this but as Cindy said "It sure makes you think twice about leaving the campus."
