- Prisoners_of_Hope abstract "Prisoners of Hope: The Story of Our Captivity and Freedom in Afghanistan is the 2003 memoir of American missionaries and aid workers Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer. The book details their early lives, their humanitarian work in Afghanistan, and their three months of imprisonment by the Taliban in 2001.Born to middle-class American families, Curry and Mercer met at Antioch Community Church in Waco, Texas. They volunteered to work as aid workers with Shelter Now International (SNI) in Afghanistan in 2001, having been motivated by a desire to serve "the poorest of the poor". While there, they provided humanitarian aid to hospitals, street children, and impoverished communities in Kabul. Curry and Mercer were arrested by the Taliban on August 3 for evangelizing to a local family and imprisoned for over 100 days along with several other foreign volunteers. During their internment, they were threatened with execution and a number of inmates developed physical maladies, including head lice, asthma, and intestinal worms. Though the experience was "devastatingly hard", they wrote songs of praise and attempted to encourage the other prisoners. All of the SNI members were eventually freed by United States forces during operations in Kabul following the September 11 attacks of 2001.Curry and Mercer jointly wrote their memoir in the year following their rescue. It was released in the summer of 2002 and received favorable reviews from critics.".

- Prisoners_of_Hope quote ""I was not confident I had much to offer a devastated nation like Afghanistan. I had no experience to qualify me—only average talents and abilities. In prayer I felt God ask me if I could do three things: Can you love your neighbor? Can you serve the poor? Can you weep as I weep for poor and broken people? I came to see God didn't need someone with extraordinary gifts and achievements. He just needed someone who could love, share her life, and feel for others as he did. He was looking for faithfulness, not fame."".
