Story number 3 for 16 May 2000

After nearly a year in respite, American missionary Herb Gregg is preparing for service overseas again, after having recovered from his grueling ordeal in Dagestan. Gregg says the eternal needs are just too great to not return. Chechen rebels kidnapped and held him for 230 days, all the while beating and torturing him. The Evangelical Alliance Mission, or TEAM, says Gregg and his family will be headed for a closed country this summer where they will be teaching English and take part in friendship evangelism.
