A North American missionary, Gary Greenwood, is being held in the town of San Carlos,Venezuela. Charged with violation of his Visa, his wife is 9 months pregnant. He is being threatened with a prison sentence. His Venezuelan pastor and lawyer are working and hope to get the charges dropped, possibly with a deportation. Please pray for the family and also for the repercussions this will have on other missionaries still in Venezuela.
I know this family very well.

They'll be in our prayers.
our God is one who takes great delight in freeing captives...I pray He does this again in a miraculous way!
This is terrible. I hope he is set free soon.
Our prayers are with the family and those trying to secure help for them.
Will it never end?
God bless him and his family. I am praying for them and that he will be released without any more problems.
I can't imagine what they are feeling.
Rita, what will happen?? How can they leave?? Are there churches helping to finance this? Please let us know.
Prayers for all the missionaries.
I will keep them in my prayers and I will also put a link to this post for others to pray for them.
A missionary friend of mine asked for prayer about this this morning on a forum I'm on. I'll keep praying! What a horrible situation.
Sad news. I can't imagine what the family is feeling right now. Especially the wife about to give birth. May the Lord comfort them and give them grace.
