Children and adults Stranded in Ivory Coast

I see that there are Canadian and American children stranded in an uprising on the Ivory Coast.   Keeping all these folks in my prayers and praying for a peaceful resolution.  
 
Thank you, a humongous thank you, to the 200 American Special Forces troops who have gone to help and hopefully will succeed in safely evacuating everyone from the missionary school.
 
Sadly there is one Canadian family grieving even more.   Dave Golding, a dorm supervisor at the school, died just the day before the insurgency from a massive heart attack while jogging around the school.  His wife and 3 children are also stranded inside the school and they have not had a chance to properly grieve or to return to Canada (Vernon BC) with his body.

YAMOUSSOUKRO, Ivory Coast (AP) --  American schoolchildren flew to safety Thursday on the first evacuation plane out of rebellion-torn Ivory Coast, while French troops launched a full-scale evacuation of frightened Westerners from a rebel-held city under threat of imminent government attack.
 
A US C-130 carried the first 18 evacuees - students age 8 to 18 from a mission boarding school and staff, most of them American - to an airport in neighboring Ghana, where US Embassy workers whisked them away to rest and start arranging reunions with families.
