Pray for Mena, a Christian Targeted by Islamists

[277] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Mena.

Christian businessman Mena Meshreky Ghattas was attacked by armed men on April 29. The men shot at Mena’s car and tried to force him off the road, presumably to kidnap him, but he managed to escape. Mena lives in a Christian village in Upper Egypt where kidnappings are common. Many Muslims think Christians should not have a right to own property.

  • Father God. I ask your protection over Mena and all believers in Egypt. The wicked don't know that our God is MIGHTY. I ask that you convict them of the truth that all mortals will die and if they die without Christ, they will be lost forever. Please comfort the believers with this truth and bring boldness into the hearts of these young men for Christ.
