Homes Burned, Believers Held Captive

In ETHIOPIA this summer, Muslims burned down 10 homes of Christians, killed their animals, destroyed their harvest, and held 80 believers captive in their own village for 16 days. One managed to escape and walk 16 hours to report the incident. The attackers have been released on bail, despite their threat to burn any Christians who reported the attack. Local Muslims are preventing Christians from rebuilding, forcing them to live under trees.

Pray that God will provide shelter and food for these believers. “Whoever loves his brother abides in the light.”
