Hundreds of Christians Displaced by Islamists

[87] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for displaced Christians.

Some 240 Christians have been displaced as Islamist militants have flooded into northern Togo from neighboring Burkina Faso. The terrorists, as they are locally called, have burned homes, clothing and Bibles and have stolen farm animals, causing many Christians to flee. The displaced believers are from near the towns of Sokode and Tchamba and are now living with other Christians. Front-line workers have provided some of them with replacement French Bibles, but others need Bibles in local languages. Togo, a country of just over 9 million people, is home to more than 40 different languages. Though the country is 45% Christian, Islamist groups are working to dominate the northern parts of the country.
