Lots of joy last night as the army and police pulled out of the Pearl Roundabout and the protesters moved back in. The Crown Prince, Shaikh Salman, gave two interviews yesterday, one to Bahrain TV and the other to CNN. By all accounts, things are fairly peaceful in the roundabout, with stories of protesters serving tea and breakfast to police who are there. I don't know if that particular story is true, but quite a few friends from church went down to the roundabout and said that things are jubilant. We will probably swing by today before doing some grocery shopping.
Praise God:
Peace has returned to the Pearl Roundabout
The Crown Prince has taken a humble stance and started engaging in dialog
Please Pray:
That the situation would remain peaceful
That meaningful dialog would take place between the government and the protesters
Thanks for posting this, Josh. I've been following it from here, but even more so because you're there! This interview is interesting...the interviewer doesn't seem to be buying it. Keep us posted, you're in our prayers!
I live in Bahrain with my wife Alison and our children Eva and Gabe. This blog is about our exploits and daily lives, observations about living in Bahrain and random thoughts.
Pray for Bahrain
Our church has set up a website to help guide people in praying for Bahrain
Want to see more specific information about the sites? View Places to Visit in Bahrain in a larger map. You may be surprised at what fantastic things there are to do and see!
