A Coptic Christian researcher in Egypt has been arrested as he spoke on YouTube defending Christianity. “Dr. Augustinos Sam’an is an Egyptian researcher specializing in Christian apologetics and comparative religion. He runs a YouTube channel where he responds to the anti-Christian content widely circulated in Egypt. He has been arrested, accused of contempt of Islam and detained for 15 days ‘pending investigation.’” “In Egypt, many openly attack Christianity. But if a Coptic Christian dares to respond and refute these attacks, they are accused of derision of Islam and imprisoned.” Lord Jesus, we pray for Dr. Sam’an who has been recently imprisoned for defending Christianity. Protect him from harm. Keep his faith and health strong. We ask that he would receive good legal representation and that his case could come before a fair judge so he could be released. Your plans for Egypt continue no matter how much persecution takes place against Your followers. May the good news of salvation in Your name continue to spread widely across Egypt for Your glory. In Your name we pray. Amen. “He delivers me from my enemies; surely You lift me above those who rise up against me; You rescue me from the violent man.” – Psalm 18:48 Photo: Copticsolidarity.org https://www.copticsolidarity.org/.../egypts-use-of.../
