Pray for Jos

I just thought I would send a message to you all to stop anyone panicking. You may have heard about the trouble between Christians and Muslims in Jos over the last few days. Things have now calmed down. I have been safely stuck on our compound over the last few days, although yesterday we were allowed to visit people on another mission compound. That’s as far as we are allowed to go for now! We are blessed to live on such a safe compound with a great Missionary community. This time allowed us to get to know each other better. Thankfully I haven’t been in any real danger. We have only heard the fighting in the distance and seen smoke in the distance.

Prayer requests:

I would ask you to pray for all the families that have lost loved ones and all the people that have lost their homes. There are now around 30,000 refugees and around 400 people that have been killed. As a compound, we are currently trying to gather some supplies to help the refugees.

Please pray for the families of children at Open Doors that have been affected and also a couple of Uncles have been affected. On that note, Open Doors will be closed until next Wednesday.

Please pray for peace and reconciliation.

Thanks,

Lynsey

P.S Thanks to all those that have been sending me encouraging comments. I really appreciate it! :)
