A Christian in IRAQ was kidnapped and beheaded in May by suspected Islamic terrorists. His body showed signs of gruesome torture. Before his death, his employer was reportedly told to fire him because he was a Christian.

Ask God to comfort his widow and three children. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
