  • Pray for Mozambique

    Pray that Christians who have lost everything for the sake of Christ will rest in the fact that knowing Him far surpasses earthly accomplishments and treasures (Philippians 3:8). Ask God to continue to build His Church, and that they will be victorious in Him. Pray that those ministering to displaced and traumatized Christians will be filled with compassion and wisdom.

    According to military sources, militants belonging to a group loosely linked to ISIS kidnapped a pastor and then decapitated him. The victim's remains were later given to his widow to deliver to the police. Although reports confirm that the attack took place on December 15th in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, the pastor's name has not been disclosed by the authorities.
