    Training equips believers in Niger to respond to persecution?

    In the city of Maradi, in Niger, a growing number of Fulani men and women are encountering Jesus – but it’s enraging Fulani Muslims, who use different tactics to persecute Christians. In response, Open Doors local partners ran persecution survival training for 120 new believers.
    “Thanks to this training, my eyes are opened to how to respond to persecution,” says Lydia. “I now understand that these are the footsteps that Jesus Christ left for all those who believe in Him. Persecution is inevitable, but we must stand strong, and we should pray for our persecutors.”
    “I am blessed with the Word of God; I have strategies to overcome the persecution,” adds Zeinabou. “I never knew anything about persecution response, but now my eyes are open – I am more than victorious, I must overcome persecution, because Jesus is with me, and He will never let me down.”



    Please pray

    •Give thanks for the impact of this training in Niger

    •That the training will help believers in their everyday lives

    •That more Fulani Muslims will come to know Jesus.

    YouTube stories: "We ask you to help us, especially in prayer"

    An hour after going to bed, Pastor Jean and his wife heard a gunshot. Peering out of the window, he saw attackers from the ADF militant group who had come to kidnap two people especially – Pastor Jean and another church leader. 

    Fifteen people were killed in the attack and a further 20 reported missing. Pastor Jean and his family survived, but they were left traumatised. Through a trauma care provided by Open Doors local partners, the family are healing. “Even if we are persecuted, our tears will be wiped,” he says.

    “The life of God’s servants is in great danger in the DRC,” he adds, as reinforced by yet another attack in which eight Christians were killed. “We ask you to help us, especially in prayer: prayer for God’s work, so that we continue to work well.”

    The attacks are the latest example of escalating violent persecution in sub-Saharan Africa


    When Pastor Jean’s church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was attacked by ADF militants, he and his family suffered emotional and psychological trauma. Pastor Jean felt he had to hide it from the congregation – but thanks to your prayers and support, he and his family are beginning to heal.

    A prayer for DRC

    Father God, thank You for the courage and faith of Pastor Jean. Continue to heal him and all others affected by persecution in DRC. Surround Christians with Your peace and protection, and help them keep their eyes on You amid persecution. Thwart all evil plans and bring an end to the devastation caused by the ADF and other militant groups; reveal Yourself to its members and lead them to salvation in You. Help the security forces as they seek to get a grip on growing insecurity. Bring peace throughout DRC, and use Your church in wonderful ways to draw others to You. Amen.
