Christians and Muslims fighting in Nigeria – possibly 300 dead and growing

Christian-Muslim Mayhem in Nigeria Kills Dozens

Muslim youths reportedly attacked a Christian church in Jos, Nigeria on Sunday where “innocent peoples were macheted.”  By now, however, reports have atrocities from both groups. Jos has been a trouble spot as it lies between the largely Muslim north and Christian south.  The federal government has sent forces to quell the violence but are making slow progress.

Please pray for:

- Cessation of hostility on both sides, but especially for the Christians involved in the conflict.
- Christ’s love to be shown in their actions, even to their enemies, even if he holds a machete.
- The grace of God to be shown in this conflict, and comfort for those who have lost loved ones.
- The perseverance in love of the brothers and sisters in Jos, Nigeria.
