Christian Store Manager Martyred in Gaza City

Late yesterday the sad news broke that Rami Ayyad was murdered after he had been kidnapped.  What is significant about this murder is that Rami was the manager  of the only Christian bookstore located in Gaza City. 

Rami was only 26 years old (other articles say he was 31, and 32) and had been threatened since April with death threats.  Well, sadly, those threats came to fruition yesterday as he was stabbed and shot multiple times.

Christianity Today is also reporting that Rami has left behind two children and a pregnant wife.  Please remember his family in your prayers and also pray for those Christians who are serving in the Gaza area.
