Nearly a year ago, Henry* was taken captive by the Maute group (an IS linked extremist faction) as they took siege of the Philippine city of Marawi, After 8 days, during an air strike, he managed to escape, but many were killed, tortured and abused.Dayang*, a pastor’s wife in Marawi says of the last few years of tension and being the only Christian presence in the city… “We are a church in Marawi, brave children of God. They stone us, but we keep going.”Pray for continued protection and safety for the Christian community in Marawi, and for emotional and physical healing for those struggling with the affects of the siege. Pray that Open Doors partners would continue to help local believers like Henry and Dayang as they rebuild their lives.*names changed for security reasons -- source link
