70 Christians Discovered Beheaded in Church in the DRC
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Seventy Christians were discovered beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), marking the latest tragic attack on believers in the country, according to Open Doors.
Field sources report that around 4 a.m. last Thursday (Feb 13), suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) a group—linked to the Islamic State, ordered residents, “Get out, don’t make noise.”
Twenty Christians were captured, according to Open Doors.
Shaken by the attack, local residents gathered to plan a rescue, but the ADF surrounded the village, seizing 50 more believers. All 70 captives were taken to a Protestant church in Kasanga, where they were tragically killed.
Until yesterday (Feb 18), some families were unable to bury their dead due to ongoing insecurity, forcing many Christians to flee for safety.
“We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres,” an elder of a church told Open Doors. “May God’s will alone be done.”
In the past month alone, over 200 people were killed in the DRC. This surge in violence contributed to DRC rising six spots to No. 35 on the latest Open Door’s World Watch List.
Last year, 355 Christians were killed for their faith in the DRC, up from 261 the year before, with an estimated 10,000 internally displaced—ten times more than in 2023.
