Christian Escapes Being Burned Alive

[11] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Adamu.

When Adamu Musa Ubandoma’s community realized that he had become a Christian, they attempted to burn him alive. He escaped, but burn marks are still visible on his head. His two daughters were then taken and given in marriage to Muslim men, and his wife was also kidnapped. All his belongings were burned and his cows confiscated. But Adamu says that nothing will separate him from the love of Christ. Before he placed his faith in Christ, he was a drug addict and a member of the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. He is thankful because God delivered him from his addiction and taught him how to forgive. Adamu requests prayer that his wife and two daughters will be able to follow Christ and that his relationships with them will be restored. He also asks for prayer to be able to deeply understand the Word of God and for healing for his paralyzed father, who does not know Christ.

May their home reflect the words of Psalm 100:4 so that when the broken-hearted and downtrodden enter, they will enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. May Your people be protected in Nigeria.
