Nigeria

Pray for Nigeria, specifically the north of the country, as attacks against Christians are on the increase. Praise the LORD for the recent Al Massira training that included a precious BMB who was once a part of Boko Haram, until the mercy of God was revealed to him and now, he stands courageously and passionately for Jesus and His Gospel! As the Church is edified, may the LORD multiply His disciples, that they too would become fishers of men, women, boys, and girls. Pray AM Hausa trainings to be used widely and draw many to the one, true and living God.

Pray for a dear Brother, one of AM’s trainers in Africa who has been sentenced in absentia to time in prison and fined for holding an unauthorised religious assembly (worship), having been closed off by the governor of the area in 2019. More hostility and false accusations and charges are being brought against God’s people in this land and more and more Church fellowships are having to close. May the LORD empower, enable, and strengthen His people in this nation, part of Jesus’ inheritance. May our dear Brother know the peace and presence of our precious Saviour with him.

Pray for Nigeria, following the recent Al Massira Hausa-focussed training. May the LORD use all that was taught to raise up and train up existing leaders and new leaders in reaching all people groups with the Gospel. Pray the LORD edifies and multiplies His Church in Nigeria. May this have a 'ripple effect' into Niger. The LORD loves justice but hates robbery and wrongdoing. Pray His people 'find favour' amongst the communities - not seeking to find favour but as they live for Jesus and display His righteousness, truth and justice to all within this precious region. For God's glory!

Please pray for Nigeria, following reports of persecution by a terrorist group in the north of the country, causing men, women, and children to flee their homes to seek shelter in the bushes, without even the basic of necessities. And yet! The LORD is strengthening His people and using them to stand against the devil’s schemes. Pray for Al Massira, for the widespread use of the Hausa translated resources to train and help equip the Church to reach precious souls from all backgrounds, with the Good News.

Increasing persecution against Jesus and His people continues in Nigeria. A country rich in natural resources, steeped in culture, with warm hospitality. And yet, the Church is being attacked by various terrorist groups in these days. Corruption is widespread, and injustices are rampant. Pray for the election in February, that no blood would be shed and that the Lord may seat in power, a just and godly leader. Please pray Al Massira serves humbly, helping equip the local Church to share the Gospel in local languages, to all people groups without fear but in Christ’s love in this beautiful country.
