Pray for Family of Christian Man Killed Outside Church

[400] prayers in [22] nations have been posted for Christian Man's family.

A Christian man was shot and killed just outside a Mombasa, Kenya, church gate on Jan. 11 after he was mistakenly identified as the church's pastor. George Muriki, 25, was at the gate of the Maximum Revival Ministries church when the he was approached by unidentified gunmen. One of the attackers said, "This is the church pastor." Witnesses say he was shot three times in the back by gunmen who fled on a motorbike. Two nearby policemen responded quickly and likely prevented further attacks on the church. The pastor was inside at the time of the attack, finishing the first service. He believes the murderers are the same people who have been following and calling him for the past three months. Police said the assailants could be members of an active Islamic extremist terror cell in Mombasa blamed for past attacks. George Muriki was a university student.
