ISIS Regains Control over Town in Syria

Syria flag10/2/17  Syria (Express Tribune)

The Syrian city of Al-Qaryatain was captured by ISIS two years ago, where they also kidnapped 270 Christians and kept them in an underground dungeon before releasing them a few weeks later. Last year, the Syrian regime recaptured this city, but ISIS was able to retake the city during a surprise attack last Sunday. ISIS has been focused on removing Christian symbols, such as monasteries and churches, and many have been left in ruins by ISIS. ISIS is now fighting against Syrian troops.

Please pray…

  • Pray for Syria as it is still engaged in its long battle against the forces of ISIS.
  • Pray for the people in these war-torn cities where so many churches are being destroyed.
  • Pray for cities to be able to begin the rebuilding process as the Syrian regime takes back ISIS strongholds.
