Islamic terrorists attacked Christians in six communities in NIGERIA from August 11 through 21. Two dozen believers were murdered—nine from the same family. It is reported that members of the Nigerian army assisted in these attacks.

Ask God to comfort the grieving. “And Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’”
