Please Pray!

I will update and post pictures later but for now - I just want people to pray for my parents. As you know, they are in Sudan. Right now they are in a difficult situation where they are "stuck" at the compound they have been at because the rains have made the road impassible and the airstrip in Bor (20 miles away) unlandable. They are also currently being guarded(the whole compound is) by armed soldiers/civilians because there is a tribe that is rumored to have made their compound a target. They were invaded last night by 6 armed men, but a stray dog that adopted my parents started barking and alerted the guards...I'm not sure of all the details, but the Lord has protected them thus far in a very dangerous situation. I talked to them today and they are ok...just asking for prayer. Please join with our family praying that:
*They would continue to be protected and not be invaded
*The rain would stop and dry out the road and the runway
*Strength and protection for my parents and a few others who will probably have to walk the 20 miles to Bor...in over 100 degrees and very high humidity.
*Safety in flying out of Bor on Tuesday
Thanks for joining us in this! I will update more on "us" later...I've had a long day that included another ear infection...so I'm going to relax and then get some sleep!
