This from an email from Mark Harvey, thought it was more than worthy of our time and prayers!

We have a young couple in our church, David and ChristinaKristynik. David is in Iraq and due to be sent back to the states in three weeks. He called Christina this morning at 9:30 am (our time) to say goodbye to her and their children (they have a 2 yr old and a ten month old). He and his group will be leaving at 4 pm today (ourtime) on foot to go into Baghdad...no vehicles or tanks will be taken. Their mission will last 2 or 3 days and the purpose is to go door to door and capture all snipers in the city. The commanders have told the men what a dangerous mission this is and it is very likely that most will not come back to their base. Christina is terrified and called on everyone in our church to pray. She said the men are also fearful. They were all told to call their families before they leave. I'm asking each of you to pray for these men and women for thenext 3days. If your church has a prayer chain, PLEASE call and askthem to pray.
Thank you.
