Muslim Extremists Kill Six Christians in Coastal Kenya

Kenya flag1/7/2022   Kenya   (Morning Star News)

Muslim extremists in Kenya, including suspected militants from Somalia, killed six Christians in southeastern Kenya on January 3. Members and sympathizers of Somali militant group Al Shabaab were suspected of joining local Muslim extremists in the attacks. The assailants first kidnapped a well-known Christian, and then three other Christian men. They burned all four men to death in one of the men’s shops.They then went to the homes of the four men, and two other Christian men. After beheading one of the men, they went to another Christian’s home and burned him to death in his house. They then burned down the homes of the other men they had killed. The coastal region of Kenya is predominantly Muslim, and extremists are seeking to make it an independent Islamic zone.

Please pray…

  • Pray that the Lord will comfort those who lost their husbands, homes and all their possessions on January 3.
  • Pray that the police will make a sincere effort to find those responsible for the killings.
  • Pray that the Christians in the region will be strengthened and encouraged by the Lord.
