12 Christians Crucified by ISIS, Including 12-Year-Old Boy

12 Christians Crucified by ISIS, Including 12-Year-Old Boy October 9, 2015

The latest reports out of Syria are horrifying.  Please read what is happening and SHARE the stories of these martyrs.

The Christian Post Reports:

A group of 12 Christians, including the 12-year-old son of a Syrian missionary who established nine house churches in the region, were brutally murdered by Islamic State militants in a village outside of Aleppo in August for refusing to deny Jesus Christ, according to a new report from Christian Aid Mission.

The organization, which focuses on reaching areas in the world where there are few Christians, said that the native missionaries were captured by IS in an undisclosed village on Aug. 7 and ordered to reconvert back to Islam on Aug. 28.

The 41-year-old missionary group leader, his young son and two other workers were told to renounce Christ before a crowd of onlookers, but refused to do so. Their IS captors responded by severing the boy’s fingers and offering to stop if his father would convert back to Islam. His father refused once again and the four were tortured, beaten and crucified.

“All were badly brutalized and then crucified,” said the ministry director in an Christian Aid report. “They were left on crosses for two days. No one was allowed to remove them.”

Signs were posted next to their crucified bodies that read “infidels.”

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the unthinkable act ISIS is committing against Christians in Syria.

Just yesterday reports surfaced from Christians who have escaped that ISIS is trafficking men and young girls to a “school of death” where they are beheading the men and selling young girls as sex slaves.

When will the madness end?  These people are the very definition of evil!  Why isn’t the whole world doing everything they possibly can to stop them right now?

Our Christian brothers and sisters in Syria desperately need our prayers.

But they need more than just our prayers, they also need our action.  We must join together and call on Congress and President Obama to do everything we can to stop ISIS!  We have to start calling these actions what they are- genocide.

Paying lip-service to this evil is not enough anymore.  Not when 12 year old boys are being crucified!

Lord, have mercy!
