The city of Jos, Nigeria has experienced unrest following a local election held Thursday, November 27. As the election results became known, localized groups took to the streets to cause trouble and/or protect their families and homes. The result has been the destruction of many churches, mosques, homes and businesses. The fighting has been localized to specific areas of Jos; but, much damage has been done.
We as a CRC mission community have not been harmed and feel safe.
- Please pray for peace and calm in Jos.
- Please pray for the safety of the many innocent people who now find themselves in harms way.
- Please pray that the Christian church will demonstrate Christ's love to their neighbours – both Christian and Muslim – as people try to make sense of the horror that has occurred over the past few days.
Thank you for your prayers!
