Deal Reached for the Release of South Koreans

I am so happy for the 19 Korean hostages that will be freed soon. But at what cost? South Korea is the 2nd largest missionary sending country in the world and the government of South Korea has listed Afghanistan, Somolia and Iraq as countries where travel (except for official purposes) is a punishable offense.

If this deal goes through, at what cost will we be getting 19 lives back? Is it at the cost of thousands or tens of thousands of souls? God let your will be done in South Korea and Afghanistan. Look on their threats and grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.

I honor the 2 Koreans already martyred and the life they layed down for the gospel.

Would you give up the 19? What do you think about this crisis and the deal that was made?
