Family's Home Burned Down by Muslim Villagers

[184] prayers in [16] nations have been posted for Gabriel and Noni.

Gabriel and Noni were the only Christians in their Muslim village. One day, a Muslim woman died unexpectedly, and her two sons consulted a witchdoctor to figure out why she died. He told them that the Christians were responsible for her death as they had a magic object that gave them power. The two men then visited Gabriel and Noni’s house in the middle of the night to find the object. As the men tried to break into the house, one of Gabriel and Noni’s sons was hit in the head and began bleeding. Noni took him to the hospital while Gabriel and their other children fled to the police station. The Muslim men then burned their house down. Pray for Gabriel and Noni’s family as they rebuild their lives in a new village. Pray that they are healed from the trauma they’ve experienced and that their faith will grow stronger.

  • LORD Jesus Christ, I pray this family has since been able to persevere and have provisions. I pray they have looked to You in faith because dark spiritual forces were responsible for this attack against Your body. I pray their witness would be powerful leading many in their villages to read Your word in the A1611 Bible. May Your glory so shine. Amen.

  • "Teach me Your way, O LORD,
    And lead me in a smooth path,
    because of my enemies.
    Do not deliver me to the will of my
    adversaries;
    For false witnesses have risen
    against me,
    And such as breathe out violence.
    I would have lost heart, unless I had
    believed
    That I would see the goodness of the
    LORD
    In the land of the living."
    Psalm 27:11-13. Amen.
