Just a reminder that some places in the world the Christmas season is an excuse to target Christians. There really is a ‘war on Christmas’ in Nigeria and all year long Christians are being killed.
From the Christian Post:
Suspected suicide bombers from Islamist group Boko Haram detonated two cars laden with explosives at a Protestant church during Sunday morning service, killing at least 11 people and wounding 30 others in a major military establishment in northern Nigeria’s Kaduna State.
A bus drove into the side of the St. Andrew Military Protestant Church in a military barrack in Jaji town in Kaduna state and exploded five minutes after a service had started, Reuters quoted army spokesman Bola Koleoso as saying.
About 10 minutes later, explosives inside a Toyota Camry were detonated outside the church. A military source who witnessed the attack said the second bomb was the most deadly, killing people who went to help the injured from the first blast.
At least 11 people were killed and 30 were injured.
Response: In Nigeria, the Islamist group Boko Haram continues their assault on Christians. They have killed over 700 Christian men, women, and children this year alone in the name of Allah. Mostly through the bombing of churches during Sunday services.
Look for the persecution to escalate during the Christmas holiday season. This is a good time to remember to pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria. *Top
