Pray for Gusur and All Syrian Christians

[296] prayers in [19] nations have been posted for Christians in Syria.

A Syrian Christian man is mourning the death of his son, who was killed by Islamic State militants. After the IS overran the village where "Gasur" and his son lived, the two chose to remain in their home knowing that they could be killed. When Gusur was called to the hospital one day, he prepared himself for the worst. His son, "Iksander," had died of a gunshot wound to the head. Hugging him and crying, he recalled the words of Job, saying "God gives and God takes away." VOM-supported evangelists who work in Syria were able to meet with him in another country and encourage him with the Word of God. Pray for Gusur, who was the last Christian to leave his village, and for all Syrian Christians who are threatened by IS.
