(christiansunite.com) - A mob of local Muslims attacked shops and homes belonging to Coptic Christians in the village of Al Nazla, Fayoum province, on June 19. When a convert from Christianity to Isl am left that day on a three-day trip to Cairo, local Muslims concluded that she had gone missing. Rumours circulated that she had been abducted by her Christian family members. A mob of Muslims then went on a rampage in the village, beating and injuring Christians and destroying property.
Ask God to strengthen those affected by the mob violence to remain steadfast as they suffer (Revelation 2:10). Pray that the perpetrators of this attack will come to repentance and salvation.
