A MEANINGFUL CONTEMPLATION
RESTORING HOPE AND REFUGE
WHAT CAN WE DO (Privately and Silently)
Blessing Andrawus was heartbroken when she
learned that her father had been shot to death
by militant Fulani Muslims while conducting an
evangelistic outreach in a neighboring Nigerian
village. The 22-year-old considered him not only
a good dad but also “a very good friend.” None
of her friends seemed to understand her pain, but
over time she found comfort and healing through
her faith in Christ. “I have a friend,” she said, “a
very good friend, and that’s Jesus. He’s the only
shoulder I can cry on. He will never disappoint me.”
Militant Fulani Muslims in Nigeria often target
Christians’ homes. They burned Ta’azia’s home
When they attacked her village. Ta’azia
Has been able to stay in her burned home’
But thousands of others have been forced to
Take refuge in camps designated for internally
Displaced people, who believe in a Faithful
God amid Great Loss.
Attacks on Christians have left thousands of
Women in Nigeria without husbands and homes.
Like Sarah, many express great joy in knowing
The global body of Christ is praying for them
And helping meet their needs
Many of us who also believe in praying to
Jesus for help and live in a life of luxury.
We do not have to provide for our family by
Farming on borrowed land. We may do many
Good things to make life easier for others, but
Now we must face ourselves and ask what more
Can we do to help these innocent individuals?
Give our prayers and gifts to the VOICE of the
MARTYRS, 1815 SE Bison Rd, Bartlesville, OK 74006
