Proof The Bible Is True

10/31/18

Many times, Christian persecution comes in waves. In places like Nigeria, Christians are constant targets of multiple Islamic extremist groups, specifically Boko Haram and in the last few years Fulani militant herdsmen. Wherever they go, persecution follows for often internally displaced believers.

 

This is the case for 100 Christian families who have now been targeted and attacked repeatedly, first by Boko Haram three years ago in the city of Maiduguri. At that time, the families fled the city to a camp for internally displaced people in Nasarawa State. For the past three years since the brutal attack, these families had managed to start life over again as they built homes and churches.

 

But persecution again followed them. In January 2018, Fulani militants raided their village, destroying homes and 13 churches—even the church’s musical instruments.

 

Once again, they fled.

 

This time, they set up a makeshift camp in Abaji, Abuja, about six miles from the major road. Life in this new location has numerous challenges. Sometimes, it feels as if God has forgotten about them. Once again, each family has literally started from nothing. All of their belongings were stolen in the attack. Each day, the adults and youth old enough to work walk the six miles to and from town to do menial jobs with little pay. The money they receive is used to buy food for their families.
