Prisoners of Hope
Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer
Oasis Audio
2002

Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer are two young women whose obedience to Gods call to serve the poorest of the poor led them to Afghanistan. Little did they know when they arrived in Kabul that they would be imprisoned, end up in the center of an international war on terrorism and rescued by U.S. Special Forces from captivity under the Taliban.

In Prisoners of Hope they tell the story of their work with the women and children of Afghanistan, their capture after they were accused of teaching Christianity and their dramatic rescue only a few weeks after the United States responded to 9/11.

Their heart for the disadvantaged of the worldand their obedience to the call of Christ to spread His gospel come through loud and clear in this autobiographical audio tape, read by Dayna and Heather. Writes President George W. Bush: I sensed no bitterness in their voices, no fatigue, just joy. It was an uplifting experience for me to talk to these courageous souls.
