We are shocked and saddened by the news that the teenage daughter of Captains Maruicio and Erika Urzua was kidnapped yesterday. We assume that the daughter is Makarena who will turn 19 this coming Thursday. Our hearts go out to Makarena, her parents and brothers and sister. She is being held for ransom. Please pray for the safe return of Makarena.

The divisional commander, Major Herrera, is also in our prayers as he brings comfort and strength to the Urzua family.

William W. Francis
Commissioner
