Anglican Mainstream

In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit amen.

We have heard foreign media report that about three hundred Muslims were killed by Christians, this is an old propaganda tactic against Christians in Jos using a carefully calculated system of reportage to always put the Christians on the defence.

 1. This morning the government has reported an arrest of about 500 persons with dangerous weapons, some of them dressed in police and military uniforms. The government further confirmed that these people did not have to be provoked: the attacks began at the same time throughout the city of Jos and by 6am on Friday damage had been done to a lot of Christian businesses, homes, lives and Churches. When government was trying to take control of the situation, the carefully planned attacks moved to next level.

2. This became the worst for because as we were now sure government was in control we urged members to go out and take stock of losses. This was when more lives were shot at and killed; we have heard of a few pastors and many members killed. We were therefore unable continue with our assessments yesterday, we are hoping that today Sunday 28th will hold, for us to be able to know exact figures and so on. I was to be in Trinity Church Naraguta today, to dedicate their new instruments and bless the youth group; all that is gone as the Church is razed to the ground and my priest David barely escaped. Another of my priests Rapha also escaped but lost his house to Muslim arsonists.

3. We thank you for standing with us at this time. We know we have lived this long only on the WINGS of praying friends and partners like you.

The Lord be with you,
