Pastor Killed
 

One of our Love & Truth pastors, his wife, and their assistant pastor were just shot and killed in the Philippines by Muslim rebel forces. Please pray for this family and church as they try to recover. The island of Mindanao is in turmoil - talking about fullblown war at this point. The President has finally sworn to destroy the rebel army, no matter what it takes. Many many people are without homes and food.

We are so blessed to live in America!

Oh Sherri! I am so sorry! We will pray for their church family and for yall! Wow thats so sad

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Sherri,

Please let Eddie know how sorry I am for this loss and I will be praying for the church in the Phillipines and this situation in particular. This is terrible news. It is amazing to think that in the 21st century there still has to be Christian martyrs.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

That is horrible. What a truly sad situation. Praying for God to comfort this family.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Man, what a reality check. I will definitely be praying for the families and the church.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Thanks, AG. We've never met this particular pastor, but it still really hit me hard. We complain about so much, and these people just gave their lives for the sake of the gospel.

We were in training seminars this morning with all of our U.S. churches, and we got the email and read it to the people there. It was a very sober and "weepy" moment as we all prayed for our brothers & sisters overseas. We will be taking up a special offering at all the churches here Wednesday to send over there to help during the fighting. I feel like it's Kenya turmoil all over again!

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Oh gosh. I always knew it was so dangerous there. The Muslim rebels care about nobody. They don't care if you are there independent of the government. They are extremists. I am so sorry for this loss.

We just had a missionary couple here on their way to PI. They aren't heading to the Muslim area though but to the "head hunter area".

I have to tell you if I had my choice I would choose the head hunter area. Those brothers and sisters were very brave and dedicated to the cause of Christ.

While we are praying for their family and the church let us also pray for those rebels too that their blinded eyes will be open and they would turn to God

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Sorry to hear about this.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

We prayed this today in our service - that the murderers would find Christ. That would be the only good I could see coming from this tragedy.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Tha is just so hard to hear.

We do pray for their families.

I pray for you as well.

Sherri- Praying for this family and the church.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

****NEW INFORMATION**********
We just found out that the wife of the pastor is ALIVE and has survived the gunshots. She has run with her children, but supposedly they are now looking for her (the rebels). The pastor's name was Vic and his wife is Elizabeth. Sorry for the misinformation earlier; I'm just reporting from emails from over there. Thanks so much for praying!

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Sorry for your loss. We'll keep their family and their church in prayer.
Good for him.
May the Lord help him to complete the task.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Sherri, we are so sorry. We will remember this in our prayers today. We were there not too many years ago and saw lots of Muslims. It is so sad people kill in the name of their God. I really don´t think America as a whole understands what many christians in our world face everyday.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Dear Lord,

Elizabeth is afraid, running, and trying to protect her children. Provide a place of safety and shelter. Please don't require anything more of her...In Jesus name.

In Jesus name. AMEN

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Please keep us informed as you can. Thanks.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

There must be some mistake.
Islam is a religion of peace.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Again, I pray that your peace cover this mother and children. My she find a benefactor to provide the help she needs at this time. Jehoveh Shalom...may your peace cover her mind so she can be aware of everything going on around her and make wise decisions as she fights for her life.

In Jesus name.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Sherri, our church had special prayer for Elizabeth this morning.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Thank you so much for all your prayers! I will update when I get more news.

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

I requested prayer for this today in our service. Praying for the safety of all the missionaries .

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

Praying!

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

This is truely eye opening to know what kind of a price they pay for the gospel in other countries, and here in America so many miss church frequently and lose the victory over nothing.

I will be praying!

Re: Pastor and Wife Killed
 

We will in prayer for the families during this time of hostilities.

In Jesus name

Brother Benincasa
