May one assume that the Governor is not a disciple of Jesus? If that is the case, then perhaps this incident will encourage him, and both other State Governors and the National President, to take these terrorist groups more seriously! The Nigerian Army should be deployed to take the initiative and hunt these evil men of violence down – not wait until an attack has taken place, and then try to find them!
In 2018, Islamic extremists kidnapped Pastor Joseph and seven members of his church in Burkina Faso. The captives were then thrown in the back of trucks and driven for days through the countryside, until they ended up in southern Mali.
He was beaten and threatened to stop talking about Jesus. "I told them that I could not stop talking about Jesus no matter what, even if they say they will kill me," Pastor Joseph continued. After trying to share the Gospel with the captors, he was then separated from the other seven abductees for three months.
After more than 100 days in captivity, his captors decided to take him into the middle of a nearby city and let him go. Pastor Joseph is still not sure why he was released. Since being released in late 2018, Pastor Joseph has been reunited with his wife and mother. He has also restarted a church in his new area.
In order to help care for Pastor Joseph and his family, ICC has stepped in and provided the pastor with a new motorcycle. This vehicle can help him care for his congregation better, by allowing him to move about more freely. He will also be able to make some money for his family by using the vehicle as a motorcycle taxi. Read more: bit.ly/2Pq6hFn

"Egypt tries to restrict work and hide Christians in the background," ICC’s Regional Manager Claire Evans said. "We want to make sure the help they ask for is helpful for their future. The business loans have been so successful, they end up as a contribution to the broader society."

Myanmar Buddhist are close allies of fanatic Indians who also torture and kill Christians and other minorities
We cannot fight these fanatics be it fanatic Myanmar or India close allies, since they are supported by silent spectator govt
The fanatics,they do business land up good jobs in gulf and western countries,support and fund facism in India high time we should expose them internationally so that foreign governments put pressure on fanatic govt to stop persecution of minorities and also deport fanatic Hindus , Buddhist back to their respective countries..
Visit persecution relief group on Facebook for attrocities killing poor Christians who must have converted due to poverty since their own higher caste ignore and torture them poor people somehow they are trying to survive but these fanatics go and torture and kill them.
See even iskon, triple Sri, Mata amritay has converted so many foreign Christian and lured them to join with dollars that's why these institutions are very rich their networth billion dollars but foreign Christian never torture or lynch iskon, triple Sri members in their country. But in our country there is no law and order govt , judiciary, police silent spectator for crimes against minorities to divert attention from good governance and paid Media is not exposing brutal torture killing of minorities internationally. Not only minorities even poor Hindus are harassed as we saw in latest pandemic so many left to die during lockdown. Poor have no support all like-minded should unite , religious , social heads should expose this nonsense. These fanatics get a kick when we protest and condemn and increase their atrocities hence we have to stop it out way by exposing and deporting them from gulf and Western countries.
Prayers
