ISIS Attacks Continue

Christians in northern Mozambique continue to suffer greatly due to ongoing attacks by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS). In May 2025, several attacks occurred in Niassa province, an area that has not previously experienced Islamist violence. Front-line workers also report that 120 children have been kidnapped in Cabo Delgado by Islamists since the beginning of 2025. The fighting and danger from attacks by the ISIS militants have forced more than a million people to flee their homes in northern Mozambique. Many now live in temporary camps for internally displaced people. Pray for the safe return of the children who have been kidnapped, and pray that those who have lost loved ones in these attacks will be comforted.
