On May 7 in EGYPT, crowds chanting Islamic slogans attacked and burned two churches, Christian-owned businesses, and nearby apartments. Many were injured and some killed, including a church caretaker who died in the fire. Ask God to comfort the families and friends of the victims.

Pray that they will be allowed to repair the buildings. “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.”
