Hundreds of Christians Slaughtered in Nigeria

Most of the photos in this email are reduced in size because of the shock that it is to look at them. I started to send this email several days ago, and was so distraught, I could not continue at the time. The location is villages close to Jos, Nigeria. This is an area where Muslims from the North are forcing their way south into Christian communities for economic, political, and religious reasons. It is a situation very similar to what has taken place in Sudan.

A few weeks ago Muslims staged a coordinated attack in several villages in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping. Using machetes, in a few hours they slaughtered over 500 people, mostly women and children. The Muslim's purpose of this continuing conflict is to terrorize and kill, convert to Islam, or drive the remaining Christian population to the south so they can take over the land and the remaining people.

Following are photos of a few of our brethren who were killed. Please keep in mind that this martyrdom of Christians is taking place every day in many countries in our world. Men living in darkness, embracing the multitudes of lies of Satan, hate Christians who are "the light of the world." All "religion" hates the "truth which is in Jesus."

As you view these photos, (only a few of many that I have received) consider that neither would it have been easy to view the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ - the innocent "Lamb of God."

If this is too difficult for you to view, before deleting this email, please scroll down to see how you can help our family in Jesus Christ in the Jos, Nigeria area. They urgently need our encouragement and "real" love. 1 John 3:16-19

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
Psalms 116:15

"And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."
Revelation 14:13

"As it is written: 'For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The Apostle Paul
