Pray for Families of Seven Martyred Christians

[348] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Christians martyred in Libya.

The bodies of seven executed Christians were discovered on Feb. 24 in the eastern part of Libya. An unknown group raided the Egyptian Christians’ Benghazi residence the previous evening and dragged them away, along with one other man who later managed to escape from the kidnappers’ vehicle. The Christians’ bodies were found on a beach near Benghazi, in an area where Islamists are active and where assassinations, kidnappings and car bombs have occurred in the past. No one has claimed responsibility for this second execution-style killing of the year.
