Persecuted Church of Christ

Pray for our Egyptian brother's family

     I haven't been posting here for a while. I would like to post one everyday but sometimes it's just not feasible...

     This is a heartwrenching story of years of persecution ending in death. While we mourn for this brother killed for serving the Lord Christ, let's also not forget his family and pray for the next pastor of that church. The body needs our prayers!!


EGYPT (Compass Direct)


Under threat from Egypt's security police for holding services at his house church, a Protestant pastor has been run down by a taxi in Cairo, and subsequently died of internal bleeding and a broken skull. Pastor Ezzat Habib, his son Ibram Habib and a friend were crossing the street in Cairo's Matereya district on the evening of October 23rd, when a parked taxi pulled into the street and hit them from behind. The 58-year-old pastor was immediately taken to a local hospital where he underwent surgery the following morning but died later that day. The incident culminates two years of harassment, during which Pastor Habib was jailed and tortured.

Pray God will comfort the family and friends of Pastor Habib. Pray Christians in Egypt will remain confident in their Savior despite harassment and murder. Pray Muslims will realize they can't kill the soul (Matthew 10:28).
