Today our world is anxiously awaiting the rescue of the 12
boys and their soccer coach from a cave in Thailand. We have watched and waited as rescue teams
have surveyed, scouted, drilled and emptied water from the flooded cave. It has been a harrowing time for their
parents and families who are anxiously waiting for their rescue. During this time many people from all faiths
have united in prayer for their safety and well-being. So far six of the boys have been rescued and
we await further word on the rest of the boys.
The reason they entered the cave is unclear as there was a warning sign
not to enter the cave. During their time
in the cave these boys have shown amazing resilience and have not lost
heart. They believe in and trust their rescuers. There has been one fatality as a result of
the attempts to rescue them. One former
Navy Seal died during the week. Now with
monsoons in the forecast it became critical to get the boys out and they are in
the process of doing that. Let us
continue to pray for the safety of all who are trying to rescue the boys and
the hospital staff who is preparing to treat them. May they all emerge safely and may their
recovery be swift and complete.
