Nigerian Pastor's Wife, Children Among Chrisians Killed in Attack-

Pastor Rike said that after killing his two children, Faith James Rike and1-year-old Fyali James Rike, the assailants cut his wife's abdomen with a machete. "I was shocked at what I saw," he said. "I knew my wife would not last long, and the only thing I did was to encourage her to hold onto her faith in Jesus."

Islamic extremists attacked Kurum Village in Nigeria, killing a total of 16 brothers and sisters in Christ. According to sources, the attack was a reaction against the April 16 election of a Christian, Jonathan Goodluck, as President. Pastor Rike says that the incident has strengthened his faith in Jesus Christ.

Pray for Pastor Rike and all of the Christians in Kurum Village who lost loved ones in the horrendous attack.

Pray that President Jonathan Goodluck will bring peace to his country.

Pray that Muslim extremists will stop attacking Christian villages in Nigeria.
