Pray for Families of 21 Egyptian Christians Killed by IS

[387] prayers in [29] nations have been posted for Egyptian Christians.

Twenty-one Egyptian Coptic Christians who had been living and working in Libya have been executed by members of the Islamic State. The Islamists raided a housing complex in Sirte, Libya, in the early morning hours of Jan. 3, separating Christians from Muslims. A man who avoided capture said militants wearing masks had abducted more than 13 Egyptian Christians. The Islamists had previously kidnapped a group of Egyptian Christians in Sirte on Dec. 30. They released a video identifying the kidnapped men as "people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church." Most of the Christians were from a poor village in Upper Egypt; the men were working in Libya in order to support their families in Egypt.
