John Morton recorded a Moment of Peace in Kandahar, Afghanistan, during his recent travels with MSIA Ministers Holly Engelman and David Morton in Pakistan and Afghanistan, serving with Wheels for Humanity and the Pakistani Islamic Medical Association (PIMA). John was able to call John-Roger on a satellite phone from Kandahar and together they planted a Light column in Kandahar and spoke an invocation of peace.
John shared this about the Moment of Peace:
“We had a nice lunch in the courtyard of a PIMA facility in Kandahar. I had been carrying a satellite phone, that Verizon had made available complimentary throughout the trip, but had not been able to connect. I tried it yet again from Kandahar and “bingo” soon was talking with John-Roger just after 1:00 a.m. his time in Los Angeles. While we had him on the phone we planted a Light column and I repeated to the video camera, capturing the moment, the invocation prayer that J-R told to me long distance. That was a spontaneous and unplanned event and felt about the same as calling from the moon. David, Holly and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to wake up some family and friends and leave some messages. It was quite a delight.”
