Niger Military Coup and IslamicTerrorists Put Christians inDanger

2/29/2024　(VOM)

Armed terrorists, often connected to the Islamic State (ISIS), have ravaged parts of Niger, particularly in the west near its borders with Mali and Burkina Faso. Much of the country’s small Christian population has been displaced in the violence. Many have seen their parents or family members shot and killed. Additionally, after Niger’s president was overthrown by military officers in a July 2023 coup, the Islamic Council of Niger has been pushing to change the country from a secular democracy into an Islamic republic governed by Sharia law.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will protect Niger’s Christians during this turbulent time.

• Pray that the displaced Christians will find places to live and that the Lord will provide for their material needs.

• Pray that the country will not come to be ruled by Islamic Sharia law.
