Greetings!

This week yielded an unusual number of stories with happy endings, including charges dropped and captives set free or escaped. A human rights activist was even freed in Burundi. Burma agrees to repatriate Royingya refugees in Bangladesh and released more than 100 child soldiers from the army.

While there seems to be a season of release for the captives (Isaiah 61:1), why not pray for whole groups of people enslaved spiritually? See the new BBC documentary, The Himalayan Boy and the TV Set (72 minutes) and pray for the Buddhists of Bhutan and the changes coming to the Himalayan peoples. If you are inspired to touch the lives of children in the Himalayas, read about a literacy project among orphans in Nepal.

Can you use some good news this week? Read on.

Rejoicing,
Pat
