I’ m praying for you and holding you in the light. Care and concern from Redding California
KTJ and Gabriel,
Your situation seems so surreal to me. I can’t even imagine what it must be like for you two being in the midst of it all. You both seem so calm. I hope you get to come home to your friends and family soon. I will be thinking of you and wishing nothing but the best.

Thank you so much for your postings. It’s a double edge sword getting the real details of the danger you have been in. But we are so grateful you are all alive and there is much behind the scenes work to get you home. We are grateful for Gab’s sisters and all the sharing of information about getting you home.
We love you! We continue to pray for you and envision our wonderful reunion.
BIG HUGS!
Dear Gabriel and KTJ,
I am stunned and shocked by the situation your both facing right now.

i am truly glad that you are fighting to help those who are suffering in Sudan. i have a strong opinion that the US government should act immediately and try and help these less fortunate people in Darfur. totally appreciate you and all of your great deeds and hope that you continue to strive towards justice.

How were you able to survive with no Interent?? Can you sue and at least get your hotel expense refunded?? I’m sure the US will get involved if you used a credit card just dispute the charges
