Two Killed in Church Attack

[179] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Burkina Faso church.

On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, armed Islamic terrorists attacked a church outside of Fada N'Gourma in eastern Burkina Faso, killing two members. As church members were inside holding a prayer meeting, the terrorists entered the building and killed two men, allowing women and children to flee. The attackers entered the pastor’s nearby home and ransacked it, then burned four motorcycles, several motorbikes and two carts vital for local transportation. One of the murdered men was a church elder named Amadou Thiombiano, who is survived by his wife and three children. The second person killed was 18-year-old Jeremi Thiombian. Front-line workers are taking steps to care for Amadou’s widow and children. They request prayer for that family as they process and grieve what happened and for all who were affected in this deadly assault.
