About 40% (85 million) of Nigerians are Christians. Christians are dominant in southern and central Nigeria. Muslims are dominant in the north. Since the introduction of sharia law in the north, violence and hostility against non-Muslims, particularly Christians, has escalated.
- Pray for the Nigerian church to be strong and faithful in persecution
- Pray for the gospel to be preached in season and out of season
- Pray for God's protection over His people
- Pray for a spirit of repentance and spiritual hunger to prevail in Nigeria
- Pray that God will disarm individuals and organisations that are harming His church, especially the Boko Haram group that has killed many Christians
- Pray for the 276 schoolgirls who were abducted from their school in Chibok about a month ago
- Pray for their protection, safety and quick release from the Boko Haram terrorists who have forced them to convert to Islam and are threatening to sell them into slavery
- Pray that the Nigerian government will be swift to act in rescuing these schoolgirls
