Story number 3 for 25 Jun 2001

(Egypt)–Voice of the Martyrs reports that Coptic Christians in Egypt have been battling vicious slander in local newspapers. Believers now increasingly face insults, abuse, and false accusations in the Egyptian media. Because they do not have equal access to the media, the frustration they experience at witnessing their faith being publicly degraded is increasing. Pray that they would respond in a fashion that is in keeping with the teachings of their Lord.
