WeAreN--raise awareness of Christian persecution

As things get darker and darker, and closer and closer to the end, please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Persecution is mounting in Iraq at the hands of ISIS. ISIS has even began a Nazi-like systematic labeling and elimination of Christians living in and around Mosul. Syria has seen their Christian population dwindle from 160,000 to 1,000 according to media reports. Egypt has seen a steep rise in violence toward Christians as well. 
There is currently a hash tag movement underway to help raise awareness in the media of the persecution in Iraq: #WeAren. N being an arabic symbol for the Nazarene. This symbol is being used to mark the homes of Christians--for persecution. ISIS members give Christians 4 options: convert to Islam, pay a hefty tax, flee, or face execution. 
Pray for our brothers and sisters!
