Schools bring children and families together, and build bridges to PEACE as they learn together, eat together, and play together! We are SO proud of the teachers who work tirelessly to bring a quality education to the children in our schools. Our schools provide one of the highest quality of education in Nigeria! Whenever possible, we share our Christian faith. We are proud of our schools, and we couldn't do it without YOU, our supporters and prayer partners. Thank you for joining us in bringing Christ and peace to Nigeria!
Would you join us in praying for the students and teachers pictured above? This is only a sample of the many schools we are overseeing! Pray for their hearts, their families, their futures - that they would be grounded in Christ Jesus! AMEN!
THE ISSUE OF TERRORISM
In the discourse surrounding terrorism in West Africa, a prevailing narrative attributes the majority of these acts to a specific ethnic or religious group. The Fulani are very often considered the perpetrators. However, it is crucial for Christians not to subscribe to this notion and recognize that terrorism and persecution stem from various sources. While Fulani are certainly involved at times, they are often singled out as scapegoats. This is a dangerously "easy" conclusion to draw.
Sometimes, mere affiliation with certain people groups implies complicity in terrorism, much like how association with Fulani can equate to being labeled as terrorists. These are complex issues, and prayer is needed.
Pray for:
those who have been victims of this violence, for healing and restoration of their homes and livelihoods
the perpetrators of this violence, that they would hear and be transformed by the Word of God, that their hearts would be softened and that they would turn to Christ
the most violent fighters, that they would encounter the Prince of Peace and choose to follow Him
Jesus' love, peace, and forgiveness to reverse the spread of terror across the region
that more Fulani would come to know Jesus Christ through the lives and testimonies of believers in this area.
