The following posted by Trish Wicks (Church Mission Society) today (5th July 2014)
Greetings. The security situation in Maridi is
deteriorating and it is possible serious fighting may break out. Bishop Justin
has advised all missionaries (10 of us) to evacuate as soon as possible. We are
trying to get a plane but needs urgent prayer as needs permission from
authorities here to land which is difficult for us to get. We need God's
over ruling. At the moment Maridi is calm but this could change at any
moment. Please pray but DO NOT ANSWER THIS EMAIL AS PHONE CAN'T COPE WITH BIG
INFLUX OF EMAILS.
Many thanks. We trust God.
Trisha (Wick)
Please keep Trish, her colleagues and the local people in your prayers.
