The parents of American hostage Abdul-Rahman Kassig, formerly known as Peter, have issued a video plea asking for his safe return.
Mr Kassig appeared at the end of a clip posted online on Friday that showed the killing of British aid worker Alan Henning by Islamic State militants.
Ed and Paula Kassig pleaded with their son's captors "to show mercy and use their power" to let him go.
Mrs Kassig, speaking directly to her son, added: "Most of all, know that we love you, and our hearts ache for you to be granted your freedom so we can hug you again and then set you free to continue the life you have chosen, the life of service to those in greatest need."
Peter Kassig changed his name to Abdul-Rahman after years of humanitarian work in the region "culminated in him embracing Islam", his father said.
Ed Kassig said his son "grew to love and admire the Syrian people and felt at home there".
A family spokesman said Mr Kassig's faith "has provided him comfort during his long captivity".
The 26-year-old Indiana native and Iraqi War veteran was captured by IS militants on October 1 while en route to Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria.
