We ask you politely to resume the search for our 4 men and the yacht lost recently in the Atlantic. A few days searching since the emergency was first registered, despite covering thousands of miles is not enough, these men could well be alive in lifeboats.

Life is valuable and we owe it to these men and their families to resume the search and therefore put as much pressure on the American Coastguard as is possible to get things moving again.

The power of POE prayer is immense, we hope our prayers will  be answered!

If it was your son aged just 21 years, would you want the search resumed?

What say you members?

I say resume the search too Ron, far too little time had been spent on this. Experienced sailors, as you say and as it said on TV, there is a good chance they are in lifeboats.

Apparently there is an online petiton somewhere, with over 100,000 people having signed up to it.

They HAVE to resume the search!

Excellent news Ruth I hadn't heard that yet. Lets hope they find them and yes maybe, just maybe, the power of POE?

With 80 million people looking in the power of POE really can make a difference. Thank you!

Well, obviously someone "lost" needs some kind of disclosure on the matter...but how many of you know you can help over there sitting at your computer? When that maylasaian airplance went down...google maps gave everyone an special way to scan every inche of the ocean looking for survivors then...as you log in each person got so much territory to cover...hoping it would far faster rescue efforts if found.Why don' t you ask them to do this for you and see if you can locate these guys so they can send in rescue equiptment all the faster. 1,000 people  helping has got to be better then even the coast guard...though I agree, it all counts when time is of  the essence.

A very sad end to this story, one that must remain with the families forever and made worse because they will never know what actually happened to their loved ones.
