Young Jesuits In Afganistan

Three young Indian Jesuit seminarians about to head off to war-ravaged Afghanistan, say mission work there will make their religious commitment more meaningful. David Raj, 28, Lancy Dias, 27, and Alex Yagoo, 28, volunteered to work in Afghanistan to recapture their congregation’s original spirit of going to new and dangerous places to spread Christ’s message. Dias will go to Herat, Raj will go either to Herat or Kabul, while Yagoo will go to Bamiyan, where Jesuits have been working for the past five years.
Link (here) to the full story with a picture of the young Jesuits.

This is an interesting story.

Follow the links in the first story and then the links in that link. It's all very informative and good to know!

I followed a link to "New South Asia Jesuit chief to push for new missions" and hit a linking dead end. What was informative?

I enjoyed reading other stories about Afghanistan than what I hear on the news.
