Seventy Christians were found dead in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) last week — reportedly beheaded at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists.
Christian group Open Doors, which supports persecuted Christians around the world, said that terrorists from the rebel Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which has ties to the Islamic State, surrounded a village in Mayba in the territory of Lubero last Thursday, taking 20 men and women captive. The Islamic terrorists later returned and kidnapped 50 more Christians in the village and took them to a Protestant church in Kasanga, where they were brutally killed.
Open Doors said that, according to “field sources,” families were still waiting to bury their dead loved ones as of Tuesday while many Christians fled the area for safety.
“We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres,” said an elder of the CECA20 church in DRC. “May God’s will alone be done.”
As of Thursday afternoon, the massacre of Christians in DRC has received no coverage in the legacy media. Tristan Azbej, the Hungarian State Secretary for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, acknowledged the mass killing of Christians in DRC and urged world leaders to “recognize and act against Christian persecution.”
