Christian Man Fatally Beaten in Egypt

Egypt flag10/3/2019  Egypt  (ICC)

On September 25, 2019, an Egyptian Christian man, Maged Fathi, died after being beaten by at least six Muslims. His neighbor, who witnessed the incident, said that it all started when Maged’s son accidentally dropped a dead chicken in front of their neighbor’s house. The Muslim neighbor came outside, and hit the boy on his face with the dead chicken. Maged came outside when he heard his son crying, and he has hit on the head with a cudgel and stabbed with a knife by his neighbor. As they were beating Maged, some Christians began to gather in the street, and they were then attacked by Muslims who had also gathered, injuring five. Maged leaves behind three sons and two daughters. The family has asked the police to hold the attackers accountable.

 

Please pray…

  • Pray that Lord will comfort Maged’s family and provide for their material needs.
  • Pray that the Lord will heal and comfort Maged’s son’s heart
  • Pray that the police will deal with this case properly, and that the murderer will not be set free.
  • Pray that the Christians in this village will show the love of Jesus to their Muslim neighbors despite this tragic incident.
