The church needs more prayers and support in Northern Nigeria.
The unrest and persecution of believers continue to rise in small communities. For the past 4 weeks, christian communities in Southern Kaduna Stata have been attacked and one report said about 27 people have been killed in 2 days, in just one community. other attacks go unreported
Children are left fatherless, women are widowed, houses and churches are burnt, properties are destroyed and we anticipate more challenges to emerge after the attacks.
Please continue to pray for safety and God's intervention as the physical and spiritual needs of the persecuted church continue to arise due to these attacks.
Last friday our volunteers in Nigeria distributed fertilizers to support a local church plant that is pastored by one of the missionaries we support and work with in Northern Nigeria.
The pastor of this church faces challenges of persecution, physically and economically, and his emerging congregation are mostly first generation christians.
Through the Haske Community Project (Nigeria Project), we helped 19 families with fertilizers (one of two bags depending on the size of the farm) for their corn and rice farms. Thanks to Hillcrest Church for the monthly support that aid us to do this relief
We also purchased a bicycle for the pastor to help with transportation for outreach and visitation as he goes to the villages and families to visit those that are struggling with their faith and many who don't know Jesus.
Below are some photos of the recent church community we supported:
