The children still in their clutches need our prayers.CNN reports two Iraqi boys have escaped from ISIS captivity. The horrors they experienced left us speechless:

  • Children were kept in over-crowded rooms with little food.
  • They were indoctrinated with the ISIS mantra.
  • They received training in the use of weapons and bombs.
  • They were encouraged to become suicide bombers and shown footage of beheadings.

We’ll let the interview they gave the Associated Press speak for itself:
