Parents of Peter Kassig Issue Call to Pray for All Prisoners 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
The parents of a U.S. aid worker executed by the Islamic State have
spoken out for the first time since the death of Peter Kassig. Paula and
Ed Kassig remembered their son, who was also known as Abdul-Rahman after
he converted to Islam in captivity.

Paula Kassig: "Our hearts are battered, but they will mend. The world is
broken, but it will be healed in the end. And good will prevail as the
one god of many names will prevail."

Ed Kassig: "Please pray for Abdul-Rahman, or Pete, if that's how you
know him, at sunset this evening. Pray also for all people in Syria, in
Iraq and around the world."
