Update on Syria
Syrian Christians are heartened by the outpouring of prayer for their protection. They are threatened by Islamists opposing the government. The worst incidents have been in Hama and Homs.
A predominately Christian neighborhood of west Hama named Mahrada, was overrun by Islamist armed men. They forced families to flee and occupied homes. Three men were shot dead before their families.
In Homs the same occurred on a larger scale in the predominately Christian neighborhood called Hamidiyah. There tens of men were killed and 23 women were kidnapped and repeatedly raped before being freed when the Syrian army regained control. Christians are gradually returning to their looted homes.
Pray for peace and stability as well as repentance, healing and forgiveness.
