CHRISTIAN CHILDREN SUFFER
EN / Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo
On August 6, 10-year-old
Egyptian girl Jessica Boulous
was shot dead while walking
home from Ahmed Esmat
Street Evangelical Church
with her Sunday school
teacher.
This is just one recent and tragic example
of Christian children facing hostility and discrimination in places where Christians are a
persecuted minority.
As the next generation of the church, they
desperately need our prayers and support.
Christian children in Syria are especially in
crisis. They are suffering acutely in the
bloody conflict that has engulfed their country. According to our contacts in the country, thousands of children in Syria have been
killed, and many more have been injured
and disabled. Children are being tortured
and used as shields during combat. Christian
children are especially at risk of being
attacked or murdered by rebel forces, who
particularly target believers.
