On May 23, 2017, Islamic extremists from the Maute group invaded the city of Marawi in the Southern Philippines. Gunshots could be heard as the group erected Islamic State flags. Over 100 people, including Christians, have been killed since the extremists entered the city. According to some reports, as many as half of the city’s 200,000 inhabitants have fled. While others in the city have been taken hostage by the extremists.Please pray for wisdom and guidance for the Philippine government as they negotiate the release of the hostages. Pray also for the Christians to remain strong in the faith and to be witnesses for Christ. May God protect the residents of Marawi and may ISIS not get a foothold in the country. -- source link
