The Scripture reading was from 2 Timothy 3:12-17.The emphasis on this meeting was to pray for the Persecuted church in Africa especially in Nigeria. Rebecca who lives in Lagos, Nigeria was available to give us understanding of the on-ground situation! The military attacks are from Islamists in the North of the country especially near JOS. Farmer families are attacked for their farms but often the crops are destroyed by fire causing a food crisis in the affected areas. When militants tried to attack the fertile areas of the Southwest, there was resistance and they withdrew. There are two main leaders, a Christian and a Moslem, both denounce this violence and killings but the Moslem President doesn’t follow up with actions! Prayer was given for changes and for the protection of those Christian groups that are affected.
