Activists report dozens of Assyrian Christians kidnapped by ISIS

Islamic State militants have abducted as many as 90 Assyrian Christians after overrunning several small villages in northeast Syria, an activist group said Tuesday.

Around dawn Monday, the extremist fighters swept through the Assyrian villages nestled along the banks of the Khabur River near the town of Tal Tamr in Hassakeh province. Sky News reported that control of the region is split between ISIS and opposing Kurdish fighters.
Pray for these men, women, and children, who may actually number as many as 200 or more, this barbaric group of animals have taken for who knows what destination for what sinister purpose, please. Three thousand from the region managed to escape the attack and gave details about what happened to their fellow believers.

ISIS claims to want to trade some of these, whom they call "hostages," for ISIS captives by allied governments, but ISIS lies. They offered to trade that nation's captured pilot for a failed ISIS female homicide bomber, but they had killed the man at least three weeks before the offer was made.

And Islamic terrorists may have another U.S. hostage.

American missionary kidnapped by gunmen in Nigeria

A Seattle missionary has been kidnapped in Nigeria and the U.S. government is getting involved to help secure her release, the church she works for said Monday.

Church officials said Rev. Phyllis Sorter, of the First Free Methodist Church, was abducted Monday morning from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo, Kogi State, according to KING 5.

"She was taken in front of her house by three guys with machine guns,” Richard Sorter, Rev. Sorter's stepson, told Q13 Fox outside of a prayer service Monday night.

At this time, it is unclear who the terrorist kidnappers are, but most likely, IMO, they are Boko Haram.

I agree to pray for all genuine believers in that part of the world, but men inspired and led of Satan and the forces of evil will lie like the dogs that they are......this is just the beginning....the beast/little horn will MAKE WAR against the SAINTS and wear them OUT for 3.5 years/42 months/1290 days.......the rubber will meet the road soon for believers world wide!
