Young Christian Loses Husband in Islamist Attack

[203] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Nandi.

Nandi Tangkat, a 26-year-old mother of four, was widowed after her husband was killed by Islamic militants on May 16, 2023, near Jos, Nigeria. Nandi, pregnant at the time, was away when the militants attacked, but her husband, slowed by an injury that he had previously sustained to his legs, was unable to escape. Nandi’s pastor and many other Christians were also killed in the attack. She has been trying to work at tin mining sites, but work is rarely available and pays very little, so she is learning to sew. Nandi requests prayer for God’s provision for her and her children, the youngest of which is just one year old. She also asks that we pray for her faith to stay strong no matter the situation and that she will be able to forgive those who killed her husband.
