...happened this morning at midnight.

At my church we have lots of missionaries and people who go out and spread the Word of Jesus Christ. (I am a Christian, Baptist in fact) We have a missionary couple with the last name of Whitherall (Gary and Bonnie). They are missionaries in Lebanon. Now read this article... (they spelled the last name wrong)

SIDON, Lebanon (CNN) -- A gunman shot and killed an American missionary at close range Thursday morning in the Lebanese port city of Sidon, officials said.

Bonnie Weatherall, 30, was shot in the head three times with a 7 mm pistol shortly after she opened a health clinic around 8 a.m. (midnight EST) where she was a volunteer nurse, police and church officials said.

U.S. Embassy officials were sent to the port city, about 40 miles south of Beirut, to investigate the motive for the shooting.

The victim's husband Gary Weatherall, a Briton, issued a statement through the Christian and Missionary Alliance church, saying, "My wife died because of her love for the church and because she loved helping the people of Sidon and Lebanon."

Bonnie Weatherall had been a volunteer at the clinic for a little over a year, a church official said.

CNN's Brent Sadler contributed to this report.

No, but her husband Gary came and spoke about their missions a little bit at church. This is really sad for us. We have some people that go to our church who's daughter is her. My parents are at their house right now, trying to comfort them.
