URGENT PRAYER: (trigger warning)
Last month, on a Sunday evening, armed extremists invaded a village in a country within our region and ordered everyone to the local church building. Once everyone was inside, they released the women and children. They then tied up the 26 men. No one knows for sure what the extremists wanted, but some have surmised that they were asking for a religious tithe. Their demands were apparently unmet, and they proceeded to kill all 26 men. Those killed in the attack included the youngpastor, two adult pastors’ kids, and the father of a bible school graduate. So many relatives and friends are grieving these awful losses. Others are grieving recent attacks in nearby villages. Would you pray with us that these atrocities would come to an end and that peace would be restored in West Africa? Please also pray that the Holy Spirit would move miraculously through this tragic event so that what the enemy intended for evil, God redeems for good.
