Bombing at St Peter's Church in Egypt this morning: 25 dead, 49 injured.
"Tonight, in my church, we prayed for those who plotted and placed the bomb in St. Peter’s Church. We, Christians of Egypt, pray for our persecutors and attackers that they may know the Christ.
We realize our privilege to be sons and daughters of our heavenly Father and our responsibility to reflect the shining light of Jesus in the middle of darkness. May our Lord comfort those in sorrow and heal those in pain. Above all, may His name be glorified through his church in Egypt and worldwide." - Open Doors partner in Egypt.
"This morning an attack on a church in Cairo killed 25 and wounded 49, many of them women and children. It happened during the Sunday morning service at St Peter's Church, next door to Cairo's largest Coptic cathedral."
