God flu

Teen missionaries bring deadly “swine flu” to Kingdom.

Four American teens who went on a mission trip to Cambodia to help the needy, wound up needing help as they became the first cases of swine flu in that Southeast Asian country, officials with the youth ministry said Thursday.

… The teens came down with fever after arriving in Phnom Penh on June 18, according to a statement from Ron Luce, president of Teen Mania, the Christian youth organization based in Garden Valley in East Texas that sponsored the group.

… “This group raised money for months and months to go to Cambodia and serve the lord Jesus … and they’re stuck in a house in Cambodia,” said Ed Hale of Escondido, Calif., whose nephew is one of their hosts in Cambodia. “They can’t do what they were sent to do. It’s a tragedy.”

Yet another reason to give wide berth to the brimstone brigade.
