The Need for Prayer
Blessing Andrawus was heartbroken when she learned that her father had been shot to death by militant Fulani Muslims while conducting an evangelistic outreach in a neighboring Nigerian village. The 22-year-old considered him not only a good dad but also “a very good friend.” None of Blessing’s friends seemed to understand her pain, but over time she found comfort and healing through her faith in Christ. “I have a friend,” she said, “a very good friend, and that’s Jesus. He’s the only shoulder I can cry on. He will never disappoint me.”
Militant Fulani Muslims in Nigeria often target Christians’ homes. They burned Ta’azia’s home when they attacked her village. Ta’azia has been able to stay in her burned home, but thousands of other Christians have been forced to take refuge in camps for internally displaced people.
Christians in Nigeria are attacked, displaced from their homes and often killed by members of the Islamist group Boko Haram or by militant Fulani Muslims. Many Christians have lost loved ones. Still, faithful believers continue to gather for worship and maintain their witness for Christ.
