Dr. Bob Whittaker, Director of the Nigerian Christian Hospital (also known as International Health Care Foundation), was kidnapped from his home by armed gunmen this past Sunday night, August 2nd. The abducters have demanded that a ransom be paid for his release. Please pray for Dr. Whittaker's safe release. For updates, and for more about this medical mission, go to http://www.ihcf.net.

8/04 5:00 p.m. - update - We have just received word from Nigeria - They have cleaned Bob's wound. The humerus in his left arm has been shattered, but he is able to move his hand, which is a good sign, possibly no permanent damage. They are working on plans to get a flight for Bob and Annette to travel to London or come to the U.S. for further treatment. We should have more information tomorrow regarding the condition of the watchman who was shot. His name is America.
