Brother Abdul reports from Nigeria: It is a great blessing that we were able to carry out the goat project again last month in some of the villages where our farmer evangelists work. The gift of a goat enables a child in need to attend school. Thanks to the goat project, many Muslims have already found faith. I would like to tell you about some of the children who recently received a goat from us (...).
Spotlight – Nigeria
Nigeria is divided roughly in half between Christians, who live mostly in the southern part of the country, and Muslims, who live mostly in the north. In 1999, Muslim Sharia Law was adopted in all of the twelve northern states. The Nigerian constitution even allows for establishing Sharia courts on the national level.
The bloodiest Islamic Terror organisation in West Africa – Boko Haram, meaning “western education is sin” – wages a holy war in northern Nigeria against Christians and the national government. In 2012, Boko Haram demanded that all Christians living in northern Nigeria should “leave as quickly as possible or else expect to be killed at any moment.” This has led to years of mobs, destruction, and the assassinations of many Christians. The resulting conflict in Nigeria has seen thousands killed and millions displaced.
It is here in northern Nigeria that our Frontline Workers are infiltrating the darkness around them with the Light of the Gospel. Using different types of relational evangelism, they have been able to go into completely Muslim villages and share the Gospel of Christ.
