We have friends in Kyrgyzstan. The violence there has finally reached their city and their landlord's 7-year-old grandchild was shot and killed while standing on the balcony of her house. News reports are calling it ethnic violence, and it is surely divided down ethnic lines, but according to our friends, the conflict is really fueled by the drug trade and corruption. Please keep these people in your prayers so that peace can return to that beautiful country.

Here are two links in case you are interested: photos and news.
