“Jessi was everything to us. Her killers didn’t know that Jessi was my life – my future. They killed our future.” The grieving father of Jessi Boulos (10), an only child, was speaking after his daughter was gunned down by Islamist militants as she was walking home from her Bible study class in a suburb of Cairo, Egypt, on 8 August. Two weeks later, on 21 August, a young Christian, Wahid Jacob, was kidnapped in Assuit province. When his family could not pay the exorbitant ransom that was demanded, the kidnappers executed him and dumped his body in a field; there were signs that he had been tortured. Pray for comfort and peace for the families of these two young people, and for the loved ones of every individual casualty from the current turmoil in Egypt. #IDOP
