Kisangani – 'Still Holy Ground'
KISANGANI, CONGO (November 29, 2004) - Last Thursday, several of the 11-member
delegation, including family members of martyred Covenant medical
missionary Dr. Paul Carlson, visited Kisangani where Carlson was
imprisoned and eventually killed. The brief visit came just prior to
their scheduled return to the United States on Saturday.

Carlson family members and others walk along the street where, they were
told, Dr. Paul Carlson ran as he attempted to escape. The Victoria Hotel

With grandson Paul in the copilot seat, Lois and Wayne travel in the
Mission Aviation Fellowship airplane from Karawa to Kisangani. The
delegation logged many hours in this aircraft as it is a primary means
of travel in the dense jungles of Congo.
