Faith Facts

Radical Islamic terrorists from Boko Haram launched a violent raid on the Christian village of Kautikari, claiming the lives of at least ten believers. These courageous saints were targeted for their unwavering devotion to Christ in a region increasingly hostile to the Gospel.
Local residents are pleading for divine intervention and international attention as their communities face daily threats from these unholy travails.
We must remember those in bonds as though bound with them, standing firm in prayer for our brothers and sisters enduring such fiery trials.
“Chibok is bleeding, we’re crying. We need help,” said resident Hauwa Williams.
“For how long are we going to suffer this persecution? God please see us through these unholy travails.”
“God, please show us mercy. Your children are being killed every day and night, and houses are being burnt to ashes,” said Elizabeth Bassey.
“Lord, we implore you to intervene. God, please come to our aid.”
As we witness this spiritual battle unfolding, let us resolve to support the persecuted church and advocate for those whose voices are being silenced by tyranny. May the peace of Christ sustain the broken families in Borno state as they navigate this profound season of loss.
