We thank God for the news that Gabriel, Katie-Jay, Joshua and Jeremiah of StopGenocideNow.org have made it out of Chad safely. Throughout the crisis, they posted their firsthand blogs, pictures and video about the situation on the ground:

We have also heard that all of the Christian workers we know of in the capital city were also evacuated. Those in Abéché, Mongo, Bitkine, and Moundou have remained, and are safe. As this situation unfolds, Steve Godbold, who had been taken hostage in the mountains of Bardai, is still in the hands of the MDJT. Let us pray for these folks to be safe and effective in sharing God's Love in this time of turmoil.
At the same time, Gabriel and Katie-Jay personally testified in the video of their flight out of their concern for the Chadians and others they are leaving behind. Thousands of people crossed the bridges into Cameroon with the lull in fighting today. As they left, we hear that gunfire was being heard in various parts of N'Djamena. Let us pray for these Chadian refugees in Kousseri, Cameroon, that God would provide their daily food, water and shelter in this time where their world has been turned upside down. And we equally pray for the civilians of all faiths and ethnic groups who have been obliged to stay in N'Djamena to be safe and find protection in the only unfailing Refuge for our souls.
