This week's persecuted church: Ethiopia

On March 8, armed Muslims entered the home of an elderly Christian leader who founded a church. When they began to assault the church leader, his grandson screamed at the men to leave his grandfather alone. They swung at his head and arms with their machetes and wounded his head and hand. The men robbed the house believing the man was dead. The young man's family was forced to make a three hour journey on foot to take him to a hospital in a nearby city, where he is still receiving treatment. The Muslims announced through loudspeakers that this attack is only the beginning and should be viewed as only a warning to the Christians. More attacks would be coming and more Christians would be killed in the future attacks.
