Cote Family Told Son Still Alive
In an interview (in the video above) following a prayer service for his kidnapped son, Francis Cote said that within the last three weeks, his family had been told by the State Department that "they had some good news, . . . that they were aware that the guys were still alive."
This is wonderful news, pray that it turns out to be reliable, and that Jon and his fellow hostages Josh Munns, John Young, Paul Reuben and Bert Nussbaumer will soon be found and free.
UPDATE 11/20/07: Apparently Mr. Cote received this news from Crescent Security, not the State Department, which says it is unable to confirm the information:
Caution greets new hope about Cote
Please continue to pray that whatever behind-the-scenes efforts are being made will bear fruit and result in the safe release of all 5 men.
Thanks to George for this update.
