Here is an article from Voice of the Martyrs on the crosswalk website about Stormriders being persecuted for our Lord and Savior:
NIGERIA - Mob Violence Against Christians in Niger State
On April 13, a mob of suspected Islamic extremists attacked a group of Christians who were peacefully marching through the town of Gwada in an Easter Monday celebration in Niger State, Nigeria, according to VOM sources.
About 25 Christians were injured and three churches were torched in the violence. Attacks also occurred in the capital city of Minna, where extremists attempted to set a church building on fire. Cars were burned and vandalized and several believers were stabbed. At last report, approximately 110 suspects were arrested for their involvement in the attacks.
The Voice of the Martyrs is actively involved in ministry in Nigeria. VOM provides a wide range of support to persecuted Christians, some of which are providing support for widows by giving vocational studies in sewing and computers and providing literature. Pray that Christians will exemplify the love of God through consistent love and prayer for those who persecute them.
