Pray for Christians under the Threat of Attack

[262] prayers in [19] nations have been posted for Targeted Egyptian Christians.

In the last eight months, more than 100 Coptic Christians have been killed in attacks on church groups and individuals. And recently, security services urged Christians not to be seen publicly around religious activities because they have intelligence that the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists were planning attacks. Since the warning was issued, extremists attacked two church guards. One guard was cut in the neck by a razor blade. Thankfully, he survived. Consequently, many church organizations ordered their members to cancel all group pilgrimages, conferences and camps for the rest of July. The wave of murders continues as ISIS jihadists specifically target Christians in the remote regions of Egypt. Please pray for Christians to find safety. Pray for continued healing for the church guard and for those who are still recovering from previous attacks. Pray that the government will deal with the violence in a sustainable manner. Pray that those responsible for perpetrating these attacks will be brought to justice, and will repent for their actions.
