This email was sent to the church office this morning from Elim International Missions:

NIGERIA

This is a special request for prayer for Elim in Nigeria.

We have just been told that the Elim church in Bauchi, the first Elim church and the largest, has been burnt down by Muslims with everything inside. Thankfully all the church members are safe and also the schools (nursery, primary and secondary) which are a quarter of a mile away from the church. We understand that when trying to stabilise the situation, the police shot and killed the Muslim leader of the riot.


Matthew Ayodele, the President of Elim Nigeria, has moved from the area for safety as have many of the church members.

Please pray that God will surround our Elim leaders in Nigeria, the Bauchi church congregation and the schools with His protection. Pray that this terrible incident will not lead to further uprising. Pray that Matthew and the other leaders will have guidance and wisdom in everything they do.

We really appreciate your continued prayer support, thank you.
