Guerrillas

One day a week, as a part of school, we read Windows on the World. It is the kids version of Operation World which tells you how to pray for all the countries in the world. Both are great books, the kids version has wonderful pictures and stories of kids in the countries.
Anyway, we started last week and the first country was Afghanistan. It tells about how when the communist were in power many men became mujahidin guerrillas, and it defined a someone who fights for a special cause against the government (and the mujahidin part means that they fight for the cause of Islam). I saw the girls all smiling at each other when I said guerrillas but thought the definition was sufficient, they didn't say anything else at the time.
Then last night at dinner the girls were telling Mark about what they learned at school. Bria starts with a very animated description of how in Afghanistan there are gorillas, as in the animal kind, everywhere attacking peoples and homes everyday. We need to pray for the people to learn about Jesus, Bria said, before the gorillas get them!
