Mercy Day
MIA is praying for the rescue from Tham Luang cave of the 12 boys and their devoted coach. We, like the rest of the world, were delighted at the news of their discovery. Like everyone else we are closely following the details of the story. As we pray, we hope. We hope for the safe return of the boys and coach to their families, school friends, community and nation and to all of us, for in this event, we are so aware of being one human family.

We give thanks for the determination, dedication, ingenuity, creativity, bravery and skills of all those involved in the multi-national recue attempt, said to be 1,000 persons. We pray for their safety and for their continuing efforts as this saga continues.
