I am praying for the souls of the medical missionaries who were killed by Taliban in Afghanistan.
The founder of the group had been working as an eye surgeon in Afghanistan for over 30 years, funded by American and other donations. He, along with other physicians, dentists, and aides lived in tents, rode over rough roads, worked in poor conditions without protection, yet, loved their work. Most people who are trained in health care would love to share their knowledge and talents in poor areas, but this medical group had been very successful.
Reasons for the killings vary,  but it is clear the Taliban wants to start chasing Americans out before they can leave by their own choice. I suspect the violence will increase and the people of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq will have to fight for their own freedom.
