    Missionaries Caught By Pirates!

    You may think of happy Missionaries living the easy life with happy nigras waiting on them hand and foot but it is not all like that if you chose to take some godless backer as your sponsor rather than Landover Baptist Church with its security force, private MTBs and 2 Blackhawks.

    We warned the Adams before they went and they said The Lord would Protect them. We advised that as they were no True Christians, they were likely to get swallowed by a Whale, attacked by some monster of the Deep or be beset by uneducated heathens. But would they listen and cough up the $250,000 premium? No.

    US couple on yacht hijacked off Somalia 'knew of risks'

    Friends of a US couple aboard a yacht hijacked off Somalia on Friday say the pair knew their journey was risky, but were determined to press on with their Christian mission.

    In an email sent days before they went missing, Scott and Jean Adam described plans to stay out of touch to hide their location from pirates. Also on the S/V Quest were Americans Phyllis MacKay and Bob Riggle. The US Navy is tracking the route of the yacht, an official told the BBC.

    The Adams have been sailing the yacht around the world since 2002, often distributing bibles, according to their website.

    Robert Johnston taught Scott Adam at Fuller Seminary in California, and described the Adams as accomplished sailors.

    "They were responsible planners, they knew there was the potential for problems and they tried to take precautions, but obviously something happened," he said. "The last email we had gotten on the 12th of February said they were happy, upbeat, excited - everything was going fine. They basically had said we're not going to be in communication for 10 or 12 days because we know this is territory where there could be problems and we don't want pirates or other people to know our location."

    The S/V Quest was hijacked 240 nautical miles (275 miles) off Oman on Friday afternoon, according to Ecoterra, an international maritime watchdog. It is believed the yacht was en route from India to Oman.

    While pirates usually attack cargo ships, they have hijacked a number of yachts in recent years.

    Ecoterra said the capture of the S/V Quest had been reported by both its sources and by Nato's anti-piracy operation, Ocean Shield.

    Mapping out their sailing plans for this year, Jean and Scott Adam said they planned to sail from Sri Lanka to Crete in the Mediterranean, via the Suez Canal, making stops in India, Oman and Djibouti.

    There are currently around 30 boats captured by pirates off the coast of Somalia, a total of more than 600 people being held hostage, according to a US Navy spokesman.

    Somalia has had no functioning central government since 1991, allowing piracy to flourish off its coast.

    Somali pirates have made millions of dollars in recent years by capturing cargo vessels in the shipping lanes around the Horn of Africa and holding the ships and crew for ransom.

    A recent US study found that maritime piracy costs the global economy between $7bn (£4.4bn) and $12bn (£7.6bn) a year.
    Their last words as they sailed off were, "Do Not, under any circumstances, pay any ransom! It encourages sin in the Darkies' minds. We would rather be remembered as martyrs who never actually got to where we were going than be saved by the powers of Mammon!"

    I respect their wishes and am looking into the protocols of burial at sea.

    Re: Missionaries Caught By Pirates!

    Many may see this as a tragedy, I see it as living proof of the miracle of Jesus. It is Gods will that these folk with a boat load of Bibles is now in that forsaken Hell hole on Earth, Somalia.
    Being the pirates will not be able to sell the Bibles they will most likely end up having them just lay about in their beach front homes. In time, they will casually pick one up and glance through it, perhaps one morning during breakfast eating cereal.
    Slowly the Love of God will enter them and the they will become True Christian(tm) Pirates.
    Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
    Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
    Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
    Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

      The Good Lord has granted all 4 martyr status:
      Hijacked Americans 'killed by captors' off Somalia


      Scott and Jean Adam first set sail on the 58-foot craft in 2002

      Four Americans hijacked by Somali pirates off the coast of Oman have been killed by their captors, US defence officials say.

      The US military said its forces trailing the vessel had responded to gunfire heard aboard but found all the captives shot when they arrived.
      The yacht S/V Quest, hijacked on Friday, was owned and sailed by Scott and Jean Adam of California. Also killed were two US passengers, Phyllis Mackay and Bob Riggle.

      In a statement, US Central Command said that negotiations were under way between the US Navy and the pirates, when the US forces heard gunfire coming from the Quest about 0600GMT. They boarded the ship, killing two pirates in the process, and discovered the four Americans shot. The US Navy sailors attempted to provide first aid but the hostages died, the military said. "As they responded to the gunfire, reaching and boarding the Quest, the forces discovered all four hostages had been shot by their captors," Gen James Mattis of US Central Command Commander said in a statement.

      "We express our deepest condolences for the innocent lives callously lost aboard the Quest," the statement added.

      The US Navy captured 13 pirates, and found the remains of two other pirates already dead about the vessel, the US military said. The US Navy said it had been closely monitoring the vessel once it learned it had been hijacked, sending four warships to the area.

      According to the Adams's website, the middle-aged couple set sail in 2002 on the 58-foot vessel, and in 2004 they embarked on a planned eight- to 10-year voyage around the world.

      Before their capture, the sailors had crossed the Indian Ocean from Cochin, India, after calling at Phuket, Thailand and Sri Lanka. They hoped to disembark in Djibouti, then cross the Suez Canal before sailing to Crete in April.

      Friends have described the Adams as adventure-seekers who were also driven by their Christian faith, at times distributing bibles at ports of call. Robert Johnston, who taught Scott Adam at Fuller Seminary in California, described the Adams as accomplished sailors. "They were responsible planners, they knew there was the potential for problems and they tried to take precautions, but obviously something happened," he said before the group were reported killed.

        The news struck like thunder at the couples' far-flung friends and family, who feared for their safety after learning of their capture, but did not think four sea-travelers were in mortal danger. Their slayings, friends said, brought a dream journey to a shocking end.
        It's always a tragedy when American citizens die in a manner that these people did, and I personally cry tears every time something like this happens, but today is different. In honor of the Christian lives that were lost today I wrote a song that I hope will transcend this event and go on to preserve the memory of the brave Christian soldiers that died on this day totally unnecessarily preserving the name of Jesus Christ, who so few people on this Earth know about.

        Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
        Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
        But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.
        For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
        Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...

        *Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
        I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
        I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
        Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

        Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.
        And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.

        * Chorus

        Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
        How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
        T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
        But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

        * Chorus

        Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...
        Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
        Gotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!

        P.S. I wasn't drinking peppermint Schnapps on this evening.

          I think it is just another example of racism against white people by people of African descent and more anti-Americanism by the jealous who have failed to find favor with God.

          I was reminded of Acts 27 when I read this story, and how the Lord saved Paul in similar circumstances (although in this case there didn't seem to be much of a storm).

          However, I couldn't help but notice that the women, at least -- while preaching God's Holy Word, to be sure -- seemed to have forgotten a bit the part about not dressing like harlots, cutting their hair, etc. These people included a Hollywood film executive, and it just makes we wonder if God sent them near Africa because they preached one thing and lived another. Maybe God knew that violence-prone Nigras couldn't resist a chance to get at a white woman. In other words, maybe God used them as His instrument? James 5:1; Numbers 21:6.
          "Come Unto Me. Put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath." (Matthew 19:14, Job 1:11).

            Look I am as a big as a fan as anyone of the Somalian can do, pull themselves up by their bootstraps attitude that produced the Somalian Economic Miracle but killing good Christians (White, American, Baptist, Republican) is just an abuse of the Free Market and not what Jesus intended. Just because there is anarchy there doesn't mean there are no rules.

            We need to get Sarah Palin elected ASAP so she can order Operation Somalian Freedom and liberate Somalia from Somalians.

            Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.
