In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-4 ESV

PRAYING FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
Overview:
Boko Haram raids on Christian-majority villages along the northwestern border with Nigeria have specifically targeted churches and Christian activity. In a typical attack, Christians are killed or displaced, churches are burned and homes are destroyed. Several Christian villages have been abandoned completely after recurring attacks, which have included killings, kidnappings, and the burning of houses, schools and churches.
Major Religion:
Cameroon is a majority-Christian country, including 52 percent Christians and 24 percent Muslims.
Persecutor:
The main persecutor is the Boko Haram Islamic terrorist group.
What It Means To Follow Christ In Cameroon:
Most of Cameroon has a thriving Christian presence and many churches. But Christians living along the Nigerian border have experienced repeated, brutal attacks by Boko Haram. In these villages 50 to 80 miles from the border, men, women and children are attacked simply for being known as Christians.
Access To Bibles:
Bibles are generally available, but distributing them in the north is challenging because of Islamist activity. Many people cannot afford a Bible and would prefer the Scriptures in a local language rather than French or English. Bible translation ministries have done significant work translating the Bible into local languages, such as the local Fulani dialect.
Voice Of the Martyrs Work:
VOM is helping restore persecuted Christians to spiritual wellness through relief and ministry efforts among the displaced in northern Cameroon, where many have fled their villages because of attacks by Boko Haram. VOM also supports pastors and evangelists who are ministering in areas targeted by Boko Haram.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for Christian families who have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods in attacks by Boko Haram.
- Pray that attacks by Boko Haram and other Islamic extremist groups will cease.
- Pray for the protection of Christian converts like Fadimatou and Moussa, who are persecuted by Muslim family members.
- Pray for the spiritual care and healing of children who have been attacked and abducted by Boko Haram.
- Pray for pastors and evangelists who persevere in areas targeted by Boko Haram.
- Praise God that translation ministries have made great strides in translating the Bible into local languages.
