This is a passage of scripture that many turn to when they have lost a loved one to death. Today is no different as many mourn the senseless murders of Lipial Marandi and Tapan Kumar Roy who died last week. Marandi and Roy were part of Campus Crusade for Christ and worked with the Jesus Film Project.
One member of Campus Crusade said the following concerning their deaths:
Beeler says Campus Crusade for Christ is urging the Bengali government "to bring these murderers to justice and uphold the Bangladesh Constitution, which protects religious freedom." Meanwhile, he is asking believers in the U.S. and other parts of the world to pray for the Bangladeshi Christians "to remain strong and steadfast in a time of crisis like this, and that they would really know the love of God in the example of these two young Bengali men who gave their lives -- gave their all -- for Christ."
We at Persecution Blog concur. Please continue to pray for their families and also for justice.
