On Monday, November 17, armed bandits attacked the Assemblies of God Zuru Missionary Area in Nigeria's Kebbi State, abducting 11 Assemblies of God Nigeria believers. This terrorist attack occurred during a service in a local Assemblies of God church, and the abducted individuals have yet to be recovered.

As part of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship, the General Council of the Assemblies of God Nigeria serves millions of Christians who face rising pressure and danger each day in Nigeria's current state.

We are not alone in facing this kind of violence in Nigeria; believers and Christian organizations across the nation stand in solidarity as our faith continues to come under attack. AGWM Executive Director John Easter says, “We are heartbroken at the abduction of these precious Assemblies of God believers. We are praying for God’s protection for them and a safe return. We also are praying for comfort for their families and other believers in all the churches in Nigeria. We are asking every Assemblies of God congregation around the world to pray for the believers in Nigeria.”

Please pray with us for the safe return of these believers. Pray for God’s intervention and divine protection as our Nigerian Assemblies of God family faces unthinkable distress.
