In Other Freed-Hostage News . . .

The Upper Room (a daily devotional magazine and publisher of resources for spiritual growth) has, for the past several weeks, been requesting prayers for the Rev. Tongkhojang Lunkim, "the editor of the Kuki (in India) edition of The Upper Room Daily Devotional Guide." Rev. Lunkim had been kidnapped "by a group of rebels called the Kuki Liberation Army."

I noticed a couple days ago a press release at The Upper Room celebrating Rev. Lunkim's release. Fortunately, he appears to be strong and in good health. The reasons for his capture are still unclear.

Gavin has more.
