Pray for Our Brothers & Sisters in Christ Being Persecuted in Nigeria!
We must never forget our fellow Christians who are being persecuted an killed daily around the world for their faith!
Since May of this year 450 Christians have died in a series of attacks on Christian villages in three northcentral Nigerian states.
There are just over 100 million Christians in Nigeria, almost half of the country’s 216.7 million population.
Christians continue to be attacked indiscriminately and brutally in northern Nigeria, and the violence has now spread to southern Nigeria. The Nigerian government persists in its official position of denial of religious persecution.
As Christians we must pray for the persecuted churches and people around the world!
Please do not forget the Christians of Nigeria!!

Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamist group?
"Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram - which has caused havoc in Africa's most populous country through a wave of bombings, assassinations and abductions - is fighting to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state.
Boko Haram promotes a version of Islam which makes it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society.
This includes voting in elections, wearing shirts and trousers or receiving a secular education.
Boko Haram regards the Nigerian state as being run by non-believers, regardless of whether the president is Muslim or not - and it has extended its military campaign by targeting neighbouring states..." from the article: Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamist group?
