Just to summarize and help our friends who doesn't speak the language.

Atabi in Tuvalu is relating a story from the TMS (Tuvalu Maritime Services) of a ship known as the "MV Hans Scavenger" being seized by the Pirates in the "Gulf of Aden" (the ship left Dubai on his way to Mumbasa in Kenya) and on that ship, there were 12 Tuvaluans and according to the Radio station in Tuvalu, they said that among the 12 men was a Rambian by the name of Teraoi Richard (aka) Teraoi Teangabure the biological son of Teraerae and Bose but was raised up by Teangabure and Nei Ari.

Momentarily in Tuvalu,all denominations were asked to pray for the safety of these men.This invitation is also extended to all the Banabans (and I add on those who read this )wherever you are to also plead and remember these man in your prayers that they will be in good hands and brought back safely.

I add to pray also for their families that they may be comforted in this perilious times, in losting their loved ones that one day they will be found and reunited again.
