Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, which also injured more than 100 people and occurred a week before Coptic Easter, with Pope Francis scheduled to visit Egypt later this month.

BTJ missionaries from China are living and working in Egypt to share the Gospel in the Muslim nation.  Brother Yun, the Heavenly Man, was there preaching and encouraging missionaries from China last week before the attacks took place.

Paul Rav, a missionary currently serving in Egypt, was available for a live interview from Cairo over the phone only hours after the attack.  That interview is available here:

Continue to pray for the Christians in Egypt as the persecution continues and pray for the BTJ missionaries serving among the Muslims to bring the light of Jesus Christ.
