Pray for Family of Meshack Owino, Who Was Killed by Al-Shabab

[285] prayers in [23] nations have been posted for Family of Meshack Owino.

Meshack Owino was one of two Christians killed in a Dec. 21, 2015, attack by al-Shabab near Mandera, Kenya. The militants stopped a bus traveling to Mandera and tried to separate Christians from Muslims. However, several Muslim passengers refused to cooperate in an effort to protect the Christians. Meshack was killed while trying to escape, and the other Christian was killed when he approached the stopped bus in a second vehicle. The militants first thought the second vehicle carried Kenyan Defense Forces, giving the bus time to drive away. The militants killed the driver of the second vehicle after learning he was a Christian.
