CRCN Requests Prayers for Fallen Members

Members of the Christian Reformed Church of Nigeria (CRCN), a sister church of the Christian Reformed Church, request prayers after two churches were attacked and around 30 people were killed during their church services on Sunday, Oct. 19, according to reports.

Among those who died were Pastor Yohanna of the CRCN in Sondi and his only son. Yohanna has served as a pastor for 19 years.

A CRCN official encourages the church to practice forgiveness, especially as the motives of the attack are unclear.

As the Christian Reformed Church observes the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, pray that members of the CRCN and families of those who died will feel God’s presence during this devastating time.

Pray for a peaceful resolution to prevent further attacks and pray that this church official’s call for forgiveness will be heard.
