Paris is in the news right now and it is not good. Three hours ago terrorists attacked in 7 locations. They set off two explosions at the largest stadium in the city during a friendly soccer match between France and Germany. About the same time, other terrorists entered several well-known restaurants and opened fire on the occupants in the restaurants and outside on the terraces. Not far away, a popular band was playing at a concert hall when terrorists entered, fired shots around, killing many, and are still holding approximately 100 people hostage. Reports on the TV say that at least 41 people are dead and over 60 seriously wounded and in hospitals in the capital city.
Public transportation is closed down, as are the French borders. Some of the terrorists are still at large and the police are out "en masse", alert and searching for them.
Thankfully, all of our personnel are accounted for. We appreciate everyone's concern and their prayers us, our personnel, and for all the inhabitants of Paris. Please pray for the families of those who were killed and those who are still being held as hostages. It is such a horrible thing to happen in such a beautiful city.
