ABUJA, Nigeria — Terrorism-scarred Christians in Nigeria are praying for God’s intervention as they await help from the government and the international community.

Christians in an area of Bassa County, Plateau State, prayed for relief and strength in worship centers on July 9. Church leaders in Miango District, among the predominantly Christian Irigwe ethnic group, said the longstanding failure of the government to stop Fulani herdsmen attacks forced them to gather to seek God’s mercy.

The Rev. Joshua Bari, area chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the Rev. Adamson Gado, president of the Irigwe Ministers Forum (IMF), stated in a press release that their purpose was to seek God’s healing for their land and communities.
