Twenty-one Christians were killed on May 13 after their village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was attacked by Islamic extremists.
A villager who survived said, “The rebels came during the night and started tying people. Then they began killing many Christians who were crying to Jesus Christ. I had hidden myself under the bed. After that, I started hearing loud pangas (large knives) on Christian bodies and the cries of many people crying for help.”
Lord Jesus, we can’t comprehend the evil of that drives the killing of innocent Christians or other people. They cried to You for help and You were there with them in the midst of their terrible suffering. They are now in Your presence experiencing the incredible joys of heaven. Comfort their families who grieve their loss. Protect the village and Christians in that area from further violence. You are Lord over the DRC. May the good news of Your salvation continue to spread as a mighty wave because of the martyrdom of these believers. For Your glory we ask. Amen.
“Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” – Acts 21:13
