KINSHASA (AFP) – Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army rebels killed more than 400 people in Christmas massacres in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the Caritas aid charity said Tuesday

The rebels denied any responsibility and accused troops from DR Congo, Uganda and South Sudan of "bombing" the victims, but a statement from the United Nations Secretary General condemned the alleged LRA atrocities Tuesday.

The LRA targeted a town where a Christmas Day concert was being held and a Roman Catholic church, and attacks were going on along the Sudanese border, the Catholic charity said in a statement.

Caritas workers say that "over 400 people have been killed in the attacks in an area of northern Congo including Faradje, Duru, Gurba, Doruma, and Province Orientale," it added.

The archbishop of Dungu-Doruma, Monsignor Richard Domba, told AFP that at least 150 people had been killed at a Christmas Day service at Faradje and later, 80 at Duru and at least 200 others at Doruma and in the surrounding villages.

"It is a dramatic situation that we are living through here," he said. The rebels "are indescribably barbarous and savage.

"They kill with machetes, axes and clubs. They burn people alive with their property in their homes."

Please pray....
 
Just incredible this isn't reported on the leading media sectors..



Of course we hear about the ''injustice'' Israel's committing against palastine.:rtm:


Oh wait.... there is no country called palastine.

well of course it is not going to be reported in america. that would raise ?'s of why our government truly went in to iraq and arrested suddam and then sit on their duffs when it comes to the whole villages in places such as sudan, congo and many other places in the world where their government has killed millions of people for their faith.

our sister abigya lives in uganda can we all pray that she is safe. she has not been on in quite awhile.
 
For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaving for various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
that being justified by His grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Tit 3:3-7
 
O Lord God, who made the heavens and the earth who is seated the throne, i pray for your grace and mercy over that place and its people... in every innocent lives Lord so with the oppressors... Drive back every violent spirit and any spirit of aggression raging right now in the Mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I declare Your Lordship over that country/vicinity... I pray for Your mighty protection for our brothers and sisters in Your name so with their whole households Lord especially for Sister Abigya in Jesus name. We thank you for when we call upon Your name, we shall be save.. We give you praise God and glory in Jesus wonderful name. Amen


God bless you Sister Rizen for the post...


Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36


Lord spare us from all evil.. In Jesus name.. Amen

Yes Lord I agree prayer in Jesus' beautiful name.



Surround our sister Abigya with Your angels during these troubled times. Thank You Lord that You are triumphant over sin and death and we just await that future day when all sorrow and sighing will flee away.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us. Rom 8:18
Do not at all fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried. Rev 2:10

i do not feel that this is so much people living in fear. rather it seems as though it is people sharing the pain and the suffering of our brothers and sisters. we all suffer one with the other through all things. their pain is our pain that we may be closer and love one another as the lord loves us.

we know that the world hates us just as it hated jesus. we know that many of our brothers and sisters are going to face unjust persecution and we ourselves may aswell. it is all worth it to show the glory of our lord jesus christ. but we all still hurt for those that have been attacked in such wickedness. not only for them but also the lost souls and hardened hearts od those that are doing the persecuting. for one lost soul hurts our lord ezekiel 18:32.

so let us not only pray for our sisters and brothers but also for souls of the men and women that are being so unjust. that they to may receive christ at some point in time of their lives and become holy. paul was a percuter of christians at one point aswell and look at what the lord has done in him.

i agree. it is a hastle amongst the people. but should that keep us from the hope of salvation that the lord has bestowed upon to the wicked which we were once. no we cant live with them nor can they be put into the same heart togather. but we can pray and share a seed of faith with the lost as we heard it at one point in time. the lord will water that seed as he has done in us until the faith is there and the person is cleansed by the lord.

none of us were clean from the beginning of our birth from our mothers. therefore if christ can cleanse us he can cleanse anyony. but how can one be cleansed or have faith in what they know nothing about. if thge christ is not spoken nor there be any testimonies of him then how can one see what is rather than what they see but is not.
 
Yes, just so.
And they(the Lepers) said to one another, We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we hold our peace. If we stay until the morning light, some punishment will come on us. And now come, so that we may go and tell the king's household. 2Ki 7:9
The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to preach the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.
And they will build the old wastes, they will raise up the ruins of former times. And they will repair the waste cities, the ruins of many generations. Isa 61:1-4
