Fulani Believer Killed in Islamist Attack

[156] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Christians in Burkina Faso.

Amadou Kabore was born into the Muslim Fulani tribe in Burkina Faso. In 2021, he watched the JESUS film and placed his trust in Christ. His decision to follow Christ enraged his father and brothers, and they beat Amadou severely. Amadou fled to the nearby nation of Togo for safety. Front-line workers helped him secure housing and enroll in a vocational training program in his new country. In March 2023, Amadou returned to Burkina Faso to visit his mother, but on August 6th, Amadou was killed when Islamists attacked several vehicles, including the bus Amadou was riding in. The assailants killed 26 people, including Amadou. He was 21 years old.

  • Praise GOD for VOM. It is the greatest evangelistical organization in service today!! Satan strongly uses illiteracy as the most easy persons to use as his unholy army. We, as CHRISTIANS need to be prayer warriors against them. Amadou was a smart man and learning a trade. I thank JESUS for his salvation. May his friends also look to JESUS.
