At least ten more Christians have been killed in the closing days of November as a wave of violence continues across northern Mozambique.
Fighters from Islamic State Mozambique (IS-M) attacked a Christian village in the Ancuabe District of Cabo Delgado, the worst affected province, slaughtering six.
Four others were captured and killed in the neighbouring province of Ituri.

In another attack on 27 November, IS-M fighters burned homes and church buildings in the Chiúre District of Cabo Delgado, but no casualties were reported.
More than 14,000 people have been displaced from Chiúre and Anacuabe districts in recent weeks.
IS-M has killed thousands of people in northern Mozambique since the beginning of an insurgency in 2017. At least four Christians were killed in Cabo Delgado in the first two weeks of November.
Pray for an end to the violence in Mozambique. Ask that our brothers and sisters, and all who are at risk of attack by Islamists, will be allowed to live in peace. Pray also that the Lord will comfort the bereaved in their time of sorrow.
