Libya: faithful unto death
Middle East Reformed Fellowship
In February, 20 Egyptian Christians and a
brother in the Lord from Chad were kidnapped, paraded, and beheaded by
the
Islamic State (IS) in Libya.
Dressed in the orange one-piece IS execution suits, they were marched handcuffed
and leg chained, each accompanied by an
armed executioner. The men knew that they
were to be slaughtered. The request of some
to have last words over the phone with loved
ones in Egypt had been denied. One by one,
they were urged repeatedly to recant their
faith in Christ. Not one did.
