Ministry Brings Hope to Hidi Youth

[3] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Christians in Cameroon.

Boko Haram Islamists have regularly attacked Christian members of the Hidi people in eastern Cameroon, destroying the homes of Christians or killing them. VOM workers have ministered to some of the children and teenagers impacted by the deadly attacks. “If God loves me, why does he allow the rebels in our village to destroy our house, our hospitals and our churches and kill us?” asked one teenage boy. After receiving specialized care, the boy said, “Here I have learned to remind myself [that] whatever happens to me, God loves me.” Front-line workers request prayer for persecuted Christians in Cameroon: “Please pray especially for the Christians that had to leave their villages and are living in [camps for internally displaced people] who have lost hope to always remember that they have a future in Christ.”

  • Dear Lord,

    We pray for those afflicted as they ask the following questions: " If God loves me, why does he allow the rebels in our village to destroy our house, our hospitals, and our churches and kill us?". We pray for those forced to leave their villages and are living in despair, who have lost hope. May they remember there is hope in You.

    Amen!

  • Beloved Father: Please protect the Hidi people of eastern Cameroon. Pour out Your love upon them, meeting all their needs in Christ Jesus. Please make Your terror fall upon Boko Haram. Destroy their war making capacity. Deny them money & arms. Foul their weapons & vehicles. Fight for Your lambs against our enemies. We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ.

  • Dear Father please stay the hand of Boko Haram in Cameroon that they may not be able to bring harm to your children. Assure them of your unfailing love on the midst of persecution. Provide for the needs of those in displaced persons camps. Give them courage to persevere in faith.
    INJ, Amen.
