Let this also be cause for introspection—would we match the boldness for Christ of our brothers and sisters in Ethiopia?
A campaign of relentless, door-to-door attacks have left over 500 Christians dead at the hands of Muslim extremists in Ethiopia since June.
According to a Persecution of Christians report published last week, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church urged the government of the East African nation to put a stop to the attacks on Christian homes and churches.
The persecution watchdog organization reported that the Qeerroo, a group of young Oromo Islamist radicals, were responsible for the murders of pregnant women, children, and entire families in the Oromia regional state, home to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
Over the summer, the Qeerroo roamed the region armed to the teeth with guns, machetes, swords, and spears, The Barnabas Fund reported earlier this month.
