Pastor and Secretary Shot to Death

Africa
Nigeria

August 3, 2011

On June 7, members of an Islamic group shot to death a pastor and a church secretary in a city in northern NIGERIA. The same week they bombed a church, killing several people. Many of the city’s churches have stopped holding worship services, and Christians fear traveling around the city.

Pray for strength and wisdom for the believers. “For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
