Follow-up to prayer request from Nigeria

Greetings. I wanted to let you know that the leader you have been praying for was finally able to get home on Saturday. However, he came back quite sick, and has been unable to come to give a report on all that happened. I thought he would come today, so I could give you more details, but that was not possible.

Please keep praying for all those affected. We had about 15 local fellowships which were either attacked or threatened, and we are dealing with many refugees, some of whom are injured and all of whom are traumatized. Though the situation is now quiet, the aftermath is continuing in terms of dealing with grief, missing family members, disrupted lives, loss of property, and deteriorated relationships with neighbors. Several of the core leaders of the fellowship are out trying to help reassure, comfort and support.

They need your prayers for wisdom in these difficult times.

Thank you for praying. God bless.
