Nigeria
A brave Christian pastor in Nigeria was viciously killed by the terrorist group Boko Haram, for refusing to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ. The Islamic fundamentalists stormed his church, while teenage students were taking school exams. According to reports, Boko Haram, a terror group the Nigerian government has denounced, is against "Western education." As a result, senseless violence ensued, via the terrorists gunning down the unarmed, defenseless young students and killing their pastor.
Populous and oil rich Nigeria is half Christian and half Muslim. Boko Haram, funded by criminal activities forbidden by law, has incited acts of violence against peaceful Christians in Nigeria, leaving 3,000 of our brothers and sisters in the faith dead this year. As Christians we must continually pray for Nigeria and other regions of the world, such as the Middle East, where people of the faith face persecution and death for our peaceful beliefs.
