The Lord has answered our prayers for Brother Imaad in Central Asia.  The radical Islamic group that took Imaad captive at the end of November has now released Imaad back to his family alive.  In a year where 18 of our partner's workers have been martyred by radical Islamic groups, we are especially rejoicing at this great news.  Praise God that Imaad will be celebrating the birth of our Savior with his family and other brothers and sisters in Christ!
