I just received and e-mail from my friends Matt and Sarah Burns (Sarah Schrock) about some missionary friends in Venezuela who have been arrested and detained by the government. There names are Gary and Sarah Greenwood. Sarah is 6 months pregnant and they have two other small children. The govt. officials that are guarding them are not allowing them to speak to a lawyer or to the national pastor that they are working with. Jail time has been mentioned by the arresting officers. The American embassy will get involved today and hopefully they will be released or deported. Please hold them up in prayer during this difficult and very scary time.
My friends Matt and Sarah just came off the field from Venezuela because of the violence. They were trying to get there permanent visas to stay but ended up coming home. Sarah told me she doesn't think they plan on giving them there visas, and that it is so dangerous that they probably couldn't go back anyways.

I'll definitely be praying. Thanks for the update. I think about Sarah often and wonder how she's doing. Next time you talk to her, tell her Josh and I said, "Hi!" :)
