PERSECUTED CHURCH

NIGERIA

Please pray for evangelist Musa who lost his hand in an attack by fanatic Muslims in June 2016. The attackers broke into his home, and in plain sight of his 7-year-old son, chopped off his left hand. Pray that the Lord will show him grace as he learns to live with his handicap. Pray that the Lord will enable him to live a life free from debilitating anger and that Musa would be able to forgive. Pray that the Lord will use the circumstances to bring many others to faith in Him.
