2.) Elder Murdered in Iraq; Priests Abducted

      Continuing violence against Christians in Iraq has continued with the kidnapping of two Chaldean priests in the past two weeks and the kidnapping and murder of a Presbyterian elder.

      On November 19, Father Douglas Yousef Al-Bazy was kidnapped but released unharmed nine days later. On December 4, another priest, Samy Al Raiys, was grabbed only metres from his home. There have been no reports yet of demands.

      While the reasons for the kidnappings of the Chaldean priests are not yet known, the kidnappers of a Presbyterian elder on November 26 are reported to have said, "We will cut his throat. We will take revenge for the Pope's words. We will take revenge on all of you. We will kill all the Christians, and we will start with him."

      Elder Munthir (69) was returning from leading worship at the National Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Mosul when armed men grabbed him in front of his home. The kidnappers initially demanded one million dollars and negotiated with the Munthir's family using his cell phone. After three days, they suddenly cut off all negotiations. His body was found on the morning of November 30. He was killed by a single bullet to the head.

      Pray that the killing and abductions of Christians in Iraq will cease. Ask God to comfort Elder Munthir's loved ones during their grief. Pray that Iraqi Christians will be strengthened to follow in his example of faithfulness to Christ at all cost (1 Corinthians 4:9-14,16).

      Every month The Voice of the Martyrs reports on what is really happening around the world where our brothers and sisters are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ.
