Pray for Binniyat

 You are probably aware that Christians are being persecuted around the world.  What happens in other countries makes what happens here seem like small beer.  At The Epoch Times today Douglas Burton reports that an Epoch Times Reporter Was Jailed In Nigeria for reporting on abuses of Christians there.

Religious freedom advocates in Washington are protesting the Nov. 4 jailing of Epoch Times reporter Luka Binniyat, who has been at the forefront of reporting the atrocities against Nigerian Christians.

“This is an alarming development. If a journalist, reporting on the government’s refusal to prosecute those engaged in religious-motivated atrocities, has been arrested for his [reporting], this would be further evidence that the government of Nigeria is complicit in the ongoing egregious and systematic religious persecution in Nigeria,” Tony Perkins, a commissioner serving on the U.S. Council on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), told The Epoch Times.

Pray for Binniyat and all persecuted Christians around the world.
