Pray for Three Families Forced to Flee ISIS Attacks

[368] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Displaced Families.

Earlier this year, an extremist group associated with the Islamic State in the Sinai Province carried out a series of attacks on Christians in the northern Sinai, killing believers, destroying churches and bombing buses. Nearly all Christians fled the area, including three families that are now struggling to find work and affordable housing in Cairo. “[ISIS] took control over Sinai, so we don’t think we will be able to go back,” a Christian woman told a VOM worker. Please pray that these families and others affected by the attacks will find ways to support themselves and take comfort in God’s promises.
