"The man who was holding them at gunpoint said to them, 'I was going to kill you, but you obviously have people praying for you and I am not going to kill you.'"
(Johannesburg, South Africa)—Mission Network News (MNN) has published a praise report after a missionary couple were "viciously carjacked and kidnapped" in Johannesburg this week. Noting that there are 50 murders a day and one rape every 40 seconds in the crime-riddled region, it is a praise report, indeed.
After their ordeal, victims Doug and Madeleen Schumacher shared how events transpired. They were on their way to visit another missionary family in Johannesburg when a "carload of thugs pulled in behind them and forced them into the backseat of their own car," and for the next 20 minutes the kidnappers told the Schumachers that they intended to kill them.
Meanwhile, a world-wide e-mail had reportedly gone out asking for prayer for the situation. Suddenly, states the report, "The man who was holding them at gunpoint said to them, 'I was going to kill you, but you obviously have people praying for you and I am not going to kill you.'"
The uninjured couple was subsequently "dumped off" near their home and are praising God for His protection.
