THE VOICE OF THE MARTYRS

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
