This puts severe socio-economic pressure on Christian communities. Pray for comfort to displaced believers. Pray for those caring for the displaced to find the physical and emotional strength to continue this work. Thank the Lord for every contribution of help and the generosity of hosting communities.Pray for provision in the needs of hosting and displaced communities. Pray for wisdom to find sustainable ways for the displaced to provide for families.
- Countless women in Nigeria have suffered abduction and/or sexual violence. Apart from the trauma this causes, there is often also shame to deal with. Pray fervently for Gods intervention. Pray for more workers to bing help and provision for all.
- In this onslaught men are often killed, lose their ability to work or have his property seized, impoverishing his family. Many leave try to find a safer and better life far away. Pray for discernment for the Church to find the spiritual, emotional, and physical solutions.
