Iraq: Husband Murdered by Militant Muslims

As you consider going to your house of worship this weekend, please watch this video report from The Voice of the Martyrs and remember your spiritual family who is and has suffered much for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The families of martyred Christians are often burdened with financial worries even as they are overwhelmed by the trauma of losing a loved one. The Voice of the Martyrs supports families around the world who have lost a loved one because of his or her Christian witness.

In 2011, militant Muslims burst into Afanan's home in Iraq. They locked Afanan and her two children in a room while they tortured her husband. The family was forced to listen to his cries until they ended with a fatal gunshot.

VOM supports Afanan and others like her, but they also need our prayers. Pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort those who have lost loved ones.
