Title: Christians killed in Mosul, Iraq Post by: nChrist on October 01, 2008, 07:07:20 AM Christians killed in Mosul, Iraq
by Staff September 30, 2008 (christiansunite.com) - A Christian man, Rayan Nafei Jamooa, was killed by a group of armed militants in Mosul, Iraq on September 10, according to a September 23 report from Compass Direct. The murder occurred only two weeks after his Christian father, Nassar Jamooa, was kidnapped and killed by unidentified assailants. Although there are often financial motivations behind the kidnapping of Christians in the country, a local clergyman noted that ransom money was not requested in either case and maintains that these men were targeted strictly because of their faith in Christ. Pray for those who are grieving the loss of Rayan and Nassar. Pray that their killers will come to know Christ's love, forgiveness and blessing through the lives of God's people in Iraq (Romans 12:14, 21).
