Minya Persecutions.

Pastors and their families in Minya in Upper Egypt say they are still coming to terms with violent attacks on their churches.
Angry Muslim Brotherhood supporters, who blame Christians for President Morsi’s downfall, set fire to the Baptist church in Bani Mazar in the Minya Governorate. Moderate Muslims tried to help Pastor Amir Labib and his family, but the rioters destroyed the church and burgled and burned the family’s home.

The same day, a mob attacked an Assemblies of God church in Minya, setting it on fire. Fearing for their lives, Pastor Saed and his family managed to escape through a window.Both pastors told us that they have forgiven their attackers and one has refused to press charges. However, their wives and children have been badly shaken by the violence. Release Int.
