No burial for Christians
August 3, 2008
When a youth in Kyrgyzstan died, his family brought him to the graveyard set aside for Christian use. But about 30 Muslims with spades and other implements interrupted the ceremony. They refused to let him be buried -- unless the family renounced their faith and accepted Islam. Eventually they were forced to bury their son some 30 miles away.
O Lord, bring help and hope to Your people! "Salvation belongs to the LORD."
