Persecuted Church

3.  Nigeria is ranked the 9th most dangerous
place to live if you are a Christian
 More Christians are murdered for their faith
in Nigeria than in any other country. Violent
attacks by Boko Haram, Hausa-Fulani Muslim
militant herdsmen, ISWAP (an affiliate of the
Islamic State group) and other Islamic
extremist groups are common in the north
and middle belt of the country, and are
becoming more common farther south.

4.  There is constant war between the North and
the South which makes living conditions very
difficult
 The North (made up mainly of Muslims) is
trying to infiltrate the South and force the
people to become Muslims
 This causes much tension and there are many
senseless killings
 On top of this, the North no longer sells food
to the South, causing severe famines and
inflation

5.  Pray that God will restore peace to Nigeria
 Pray He would protect His people and give
wisdom
 Pray for those who have been displaced and
especially for the Muslims who have
converted to Christianity
 Pray for ministries such as Open Doors and
TETMI as they continue to help the vulnerable
and share the gospel in this very difficult time
