AUGUSTA, Ga. - Ousted Honduran President Jose Zelaya says he will not return to his home country until this Saturday so negotiations can continue. Despite the unrest, a group with Stevens Creek Church traveled to the country to do some missionary work. A pastor with the church says volunteers are in a safe location, away from the capital.

“They definitely don't have fear. They know they are safe. Their main concern is whether or not they will return on schedule,” said David Willis, Steven’s Creek Church.

The group is supposed to come back on Saturday. The church says they are monitoring travel alerts, in case they need to bring the volunteers home sooner.

Thousands of native nationals worldwide agree, foreign missionaries, mercenary insurgents and regime puppets are best served on a hot rack with roasted peppers, lime juice and yams.

Don't want to throw cold water on this-and I know they mean well-but there are a lot of Americans that could use the help being taken overseas. And JOMO is right-they are setting themselves up to be targets.
