He added that many Christians in the area have fled their homes, and one pastor was evacuated to another city to receive medical care after suffering a serious injury. The incidents occurred near the Mali border, where numerous jihadi groups are based. \"Please pray for the church in Burkina Faso as they continue to face attacks on nearly a weekly basis,\" said the front-line worker."}
