"Nigeria:* A mob of Muslim youths injured six Christians, one critically, and burned 10 churches last week in Dutse, capital of Jigawa state in northern Nigeria. The attacks were sparked by allegations that a Christian woman, identified only as a tailor named Jummai, had blasphemed the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Demanding that she be stoned, angry Muslims went on a rampage, destroying several churches, 20 Christian homes and 40 shops and leaving more than 1,000 Christians displaced. Reported by Compass Direct, police have detained the accused woman for questioning, along with more than 20 suspects involved in the mob attacks. Read More
Please Pray:
* For the Lord to protect Jummai in these terribly dangerous circumstances.
* That Jesus will make His presence with her so evident that even her jailers will perceive it.
* That her life will be spared, and she will be able to return to her home and her family and her livelihood.
* For Nigeria, that this terrible destruction targeted at the Christian community will be brought to an end."
