Two Christian villages in Midsayap, Cotabato, Mindanao, were attacked by the Muslim Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) on July 29 and 31. Reynaldo Aloro, a village leader who ran for help when he saw the raiders, was caught and killed.
More than 70 armed men used four boats to reach the
villages and ransack homes, taking belongings such as rice, clothing and
utensils. The attackers also took all the animals from the village, including
goats, pigs and more than 300 ducks.
The villagers now walk to their farms by day and stay at an evacuation centre at night for fear of more attacks. The BIFF continually harass and threaten Christians as part of their campaign for a pure Islamic state.

- Pray that the Lord will comfort those who are mourning the loss of life and the loss of property and that He will protect and provide for them.
- Pray that God would lead members of the BIFF to repentance. Release Int.
