The Latest News From Nigeria!!!!!

FIRST PART ONE.....

Jon Gambrell for the Associated Press, January 7:

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Members of a radical Muslim sect attacked a church in northeast Nigeria during a worship service, part of a series of assaults that killed at least 13 people, authorities said Saturday.

The church shooting came as Boko Haram members attacked a beauty salon and fought government forces Friday night as part of its continuing sectarian battle against Nigeria's weak central government. In the last few days alone, the group has killed at least 44 people, despite the oil-rich nation's president declaring a state of emergency in regions hit by the sect.

In Yola, the capital of Adamawa state, gunmen covered their faces with black cloth when they attacked Apostolic Church, local police commissioner Ade Shinaba said. Shinaba said at least eight worshippers died in that attack.

 "Three gunmen with their faces covered with black cloth burst in and started shooting   chanting, 'God is great, God is great,'" said Stephen Tizhe, 35.

 No arrests have been made in  the  attack, authorities said.

The attacks Friday night came after gunmen claimed by Boko Haram attacked a town hall earlier that day in Mubi, Adamawa state, killing at least 20 people who had gathered for a meeting of the Christian Igbo ethnic group. On Thursday night, the sect also attacked a church in Gombe state, killing at least eight people.

NOW PART TWO!!!!!!

 The above four views are pictures of the First  Apostolic Church that is being built in Nigeria by the

Apostolic Lighthouse Church here in Augsburg, Germany!

 Brother Joseph Ayodele our first Missionary to go out from the church has worked like a dog to get us this far in just a matter of WEEKS!

 Not only have we purchased the land and gotten this far BUT several vehicles have already been purchased here in Germany and shipped down to Nigeria for the work including a VAN and A BUS!!!!

  The building project has two phases on this site. First the building going up now will serve as the sanctuary and bathrooms in stage one and later a much larger sanctuary will be erected on the land directly in front of the building you see here.

 (Land for other assemblies has already been purchased in Nigeria as well!)

Already vehicles including a van and a BUS have been shipped down to Nigeria for this work! What was only a slab foundation a few weeks back now has a largely completed building shell erected on it!

 The kindness of so many Apostolic Churches in America have made this possible so far! Your generosity is superb! Please help us FINISH this job! Brother Ayodele and his wife are NOT AFRAID to put their lives on the line in terror riven Nigeria to preach truth, but without your help how can they possibly finish this job?

CAN YOU HELP US TO SEND THEM AND SEE THEM SUCCEED?

I pray all our friends will help us as well! We desperately need it or we shall surely fail.

You can help! Your offerrings are vital ! They are in many ways the LIFES BLOOD of foreign missions!
