Dear Greg Gordon,
On March 2nd, Muslims went on a rampage in an Islamic area of Ethiopia, beginning with an assault on churches in Asendabo.
ICC and others alerted the world and called on the Ethiopian government to intervene. Unfortunately, the local government did not intervene and the attacks continued for a week. When the smoke cleared, the damage was evident. The Muslims had burned down the homes of 30 Christian leaders, they had killed one Christian, wounded several others, and torched 69 churches, a Bible school, and a Christian orphanage.
One of the many wounded in these attacks was the grandson of a church elder who put himself in between the Muslim militants and his grandfather when they arrived to kill the elderly man. The Islamists attacked the young man with machetes - seriously wounding his head and hand and leaving him for dead. His family was forced to make a three-hour journey on foot to bring him to a hospital in a nearby city.
THE DISPLACED NEED OUR HELP
Right now, more than 10,000 Ethiopian Christians who have been displaced by the violence are in critical need of food and clothing. ICC, in partnership with churches on the ground, is ready to provide emergency food relief packs of flour, rice, oil, and sugar or clothing, but we need your help.
For only $5, you can feed one Ethiopian Christian for a week or provide them with sufficient clothing.
Christians are in crisis as we speak. Will you please give generously to bring help to those in need? Just click here to give to our Community Rebuilding fund. Please type "Ethiopia" in the note.
Thank you,
