For more on my Lenten Focus, see my Ash Wednesday post. A quick summary is that I am spending Lent fasting and praying for the Persecuted Church, and I invite you to join me.
“Islamic State militants have kidnapped at least 90 people after sweeping through Christian villages in Syria, it has been revealed.
The abductions are said to have taken place after ISIS seized two Assyrian communities from Kurdish forces in the northeast province of Hassakeh.”
There are an estimated 3,000 refugees who fled the attack.
We know what these monsters did to the Coptic Christians they kidnapped, although there is speculation that they may be attempting to use the Christians in a prisoner swap.
Pray for these 90 men, women and children. Pray that God would deliver them from the enemy.
Pray for their families and friends and for the 3,000 people from those villages who have fled for their lives and are now homeless.
Pray for leaders and authorities, that they would do their duty to protect the innocent and stand against evil.
