Christian Teen Beheaded

Africa
Somalia

December 12, 2011

In SOMALIA this autumn, a 17-year-old believer was beheaded by the Islamic group al Shabaab. His family had been holding secret Bible studies in their home. His parents have since fled for their lives.

Pray that they will find strength in God. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
