This week in bible class we have been focusing on Christian Persecution, the group I have been working with has been focusing in on persecution in Nigeria. Persecution in Nigeria is horrendous. There are thousands of christian being killed every year by radical muslims groups, mainly Boko Haram. The government doesn’t prohibit christianity, but they also don’t encourage it. The most recent attack by a radical muslim group happened in a girls schools, they kidnapped a lot of girls in the middle of the night and non of the girls have been returned that we know of. Can you imagine being kidnapped in the middle of the night by complete strangers?
Most of us have never even experienced anything even remotely like that. And we don’t really understand how scary it would be, and how we can help. Well there are a lot of ways that we can help. We can donate money, food, clothing, but most importantly we can donate our time. We can pray for them. After all we can control what happens in Nigeria, but God can and he’s in control.
