I read with sadness this story about Christians fleeing from the city of Raqqa in Syria. At one time Christians made up about 1% of the population of that city. With the advance of ISIS, Christians were given the option of converting to Islam or fleeing the city under threat of death. All places for Christian worship have been destroyed. The remaining Christians are now being driven out by the US led coalition forces that are bombing the city. I am amazed at the strength of the Christians who are managing to keep their faith under the most dangerous circumstances and know that nothing but the power of our God could get them through. I pray today for their safety and continued faith.
