NIGERIA - MORE ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS

Barnabas Fund reports,
NIGERIA - MORE ATTACKS ON CHRISTIANS

Following the violence in Jos, Plateau State, in January and March 2010, we are receiving reports that Christians in Nigeria have again come under attack. On the evening of 3 July the village of Kizachi Dawai Chawai in Kaduna State was attacked by several Muslims. Five people were killed and five Christian homes destroyed.

In another incident, three Christians are feared dead in the Ganawuri community, near Jos, after Muslim attackers armed with guns and machetes descended on the village. Several of the attackers were arrested.

Please pray for Christians in these two states as they endure daily fear for their lives in the face of such frequent and horrific violence.
Pray for our brothers and sisters all across this troubled nation; pray that God will make His face to shine upon His people and that they may exhibit His love and forgiveness even in times of persecution and violence.
