Church Nearly Destroyed, Eight Killed

[4] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Christians in northern Togo.

On October 26, 2024, Islamist militants attacked a church in Nalgbangou in northern Togo. During the attack, the Islamists burned houses and killed eight men in the village. They also filled the local church with bullet holes, knocked the metal sheeting roof down and set the building on fire. Since then, many members of the congregation have been afraid to return. The pastor said that even before the attack, church members who had converted from Islam faced regular persecution. Front-line workers request prayer for this pastor, his church and all the Christians in northern Togo.

  • Beloved Father: Please protect this pastor, his family & flock, & all the Christians of northern Togo from continued savagery from the Islamists. Praise be to You for the faithfulness of this pastor. Build up Your church in the midst of persecution. Soften the hearts of the Islamists that they may turn to Jesus & escape Your just wrath. In Jesus' Name.
