Prayer Request: Christians in
Kaduna Nigeria.
Eight Nigerian Christians killed, and
more than 100 people injured, by one car bomber.
On Sunday October 28th, a
car loaded with explosives by a suicide bomber, drove up to the
packed Kuduna St. Rita Church setting of his bomb.
Once again the Islamist terror group
Boko Haram is thought to be behind the evil act.
During 2012, Boko Haram attacks on
Christian churches have intensified.
Hundreds have been seriously injured,
and scores, dead.
Boko Haram is intent on establishing an
Islamist government in Nigeria.
Military Task Force spokeman, Lt. Col.
Sagir Musa has said that Boko Haram is receiving funding from foreign
terrorist organizations for the carrying out their attacks.
Task Force, information received,
indicates that Boko Haram terrorists plan to attack civilian and
military locations in Borone State, during the upcoming Sallah
celebrations.
Christians are leaving the area,
fearing more violence.
Boko Haram terrorist attacks, have left
some 3,000 dead since 2009, with dozens injured and killed in riots
between Muslims and Christians.
Dear Christian friend, please continue
to pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria, unbelievable
persecution has been going on there now for some time.
PERSECUTION:
Matthew 5:10-12 KJV
10 Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely, for My sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the
prophets which were before you.
Acts 5:40-42 KJV
40 "...and when they had called
the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not
speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 And they departed from the
presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to
suffer shame for His name.
42 And daily in the temple, and in
every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 11:32-40 KJV
32 And what shall I more say? for
the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of
Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued
kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire,
escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong,
waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised
to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance;
that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel
mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn
asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about
in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not
worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and
caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a
good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better
thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out
of the angel's hand.
