Just received this email to pass on - it's dated 3rd Oct, but I haven't seen details of this on the news or newspapers. Does anyone know more about this?
from Sean Malone who leads Crisis Relief International, in Iraq, who wrote:-
"We lost the city of Queragosh. It fell to ISIS and they are beheading children systematically - but not their parents.
Please pray for us all as we stay by the parents even though the UN have pulled out'. ISIS are within ten minutes of where our team is working'.
ISIS somehow know where the Christians are and target them.
This is beyond my imagination - the agony of helplessness in the face of such horror.
I feel compelled to ask that we pray for the children of Iraq and Syria; what do we pray for? I am asking people to place a lit lamp in their window at 6pm Monday 6th October and let it be visible until dawn on Tuesday 7th. 'The Light is come into the world and no darkness shall extinguish it'- surely now it is our turn to be seen turning to the Light.
