Homes, Shops and Church Burned

July 19, 2011

In NIGERIA on April 29, Muslims told a Christian music-shop owner that his music was disturbing their prayers. Although he turned off the music, a Muslim mob returned later and burned down the shop and houses belonging to Christians, including the house belonging to the local pastor. He is now homeless, and the congregation has no shelter from sun and rain.

Ask God to restore their belongings and shelter. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
