These Are The Nuns Released 'Unharmed' By The World Worst Terrorist in Iraq

I reported on this blog that five people, including two nuns, were kidnapped by one of the worst terrorists on earth, the ISIS. Well, I'm glad to announce to you that after much prayers and intercessions, all of them had  been released unharmed and surprisingly the militants did not demand ransom money for their return.

I gathered that the kidnap victims were... missing for three weeks but are now safely in Dohuk, Iraq.

Again, there names are Sister Miskintah, Sister Utoor Joseph, Hala Salim, Sarah Khoshaba and Aram Sabah. These women had been checking on an orphanage in Mosul when they were captured by militants while some other Chaldean nuns who operated the orphanage escaped.

Christian persecution in the region has increased as ISIS gained control of Iraqi cities Mosul, Baiji and Fallujah;thousands of Christian citizens have fled the area for safety.

In a meeting in Belgium, Louis Raphael Sako, the Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church said, “The next days will be verybad. If the situation does not change, Christians will be leftwith just a symbolic presence in Iraq. If they leave, their historyis finished.”

At the same meeting, Bishop Youssif Mirkis of Kirkuk said,“Our presence was once a symbol of peace, but there’s somuch panic, and few Christians see their future in Iraq.”

 

Brethren, as you can see, we need more prayers to survive this perilous time.
