Lynching averted in Panajachel

UPDATE from Dec. 8, 2009: One man was lynched in Panajachel, Dec. 5, 2009, and three female alleged accomplices had to be rescued by police helicopter.

Thanks for your prayers for the situation in Panajachel yesterday. The police managed to rescue the alleged crook from a crowd of about 200 people, who were threatening to lynch the man. The people say they are tired of crimes going unpunished. Please continue to pray for the authorities here (I Timothy 2:1-8). Thanks!
