On Sunday 30 November unidentified gunmen raided a church service in Yagba West LGA, abducting the minister, his wife and more than 10 others.
Abductions of church leaders and other Christians by both Islamists and criminal gangs are common in northern and Middle Belt Nigeria.
How you can pray
Ask the Lord to comfort the bereaved family and community of our murdered brother in Christ. Pray that He will be with those abducted from churches in Kogi State, and ask that they will soon be released, safe and unharmed.
