Islamists attacked an evangelical church in Kabba, Kogi during a Sunday service, killing one and abducting three others. The attackers, armed with guns, invaded the church as the service had just begun. “They shot sporadically,” one survivor said. Pray for comfort for the family whose loved one was killed. Pray that those who were kidnapped will be returned unharmed. Pray that the church will show the love of God to those who seek to silence their witness for Christ.<\/p>\n
