ISLAMIST terrorists massacred a group of Christians in a remote village in Nigeria on Christmas Eve after promising to carry out an attack during the church's holy season.
Boko Haram killed at least seven people including a pastor in their latest sickening attack. The militants stormed the village of Pyemi, near Chibok, in northern Nigeria as locals prepared to celebrate Christmas, according to International Christian Concern (ICC). Seven people were left dead while a further 12 from the area remain missing.
The attack followed a threat released by Boko Haram warning they would strike Christian communities over the festive period.
Two church buildings, the EYN church in Pyemi, and the Anglican and Living Faith Churches in Garkida were also destroyed.
General secretary of EYN, Rev Daniel Mbaya, put the number of dead at six while another source said eight were killed.
He also said the terrorists had abducted five people in Garkida, and said he was awaiting further details on their fate.
He said: “There was an attack at Pyemi (Chibok) and Garkida (Northern Adamawa). I am waiting for the names of those killed.
“As of yesterday, I was told that six persons were killed. The EYN Church was burnt (at Pyemi).
“There were abductions but I am waiting for specifics in terms of names of those abducted.
“Five persons were abducted in Garkida.”
A reminder to always pray for our brothers and sisters around the world, who are being persecuted and martyred. Satan and Islamists, as well as this dying world, want to bring that here. May we hold fast to our faith in Christ as these precious ones did.
Appears that none of the attacked were carrying. Always ALWAYS carry a weapon.
But stricter definitions which began with smaller numbers show no reductions.
Worldwide about 245 million Christians experience some form of persecution for their faith -- that's one in nine.
Over 4,000 Christians are killed for their faith each year.
Over 100 churches are attacked, burned or vandalized each month.
Muslims are the biggest persecutors.
One of six Christians in Africa experience persecution for their faith.
One in three Christians in Asia are persecuted.
Even in South American one in 21 Christians experience persecution for their faith.
How many people know these numbers, or the lives they represent?

IS THE WORLD EVER GONNA WAKE UP???
Gracious Lord, how long must this go on?
The written Word of God, the Holy bible, is proof of God’s use of the ungodly as a form of judgement on His People.
When all the believers are raptured, Islam will be free to carry out it’s quest for world domination. This is known as the tribulation.
The answer to your question is now until the rapture +7 years.
I think it’s more than Islam.
There are a large number of anti-God and anti-Christian people now and they will contribute mightily in the Tribulation.
Read my tagline, heed my tagline and never give up your weapons.

I agree, but random anti-Christian people are not as organized into large groups or brutally violent as radical islamonazis, who prefer beheading.
Revelation 20:4 mentions those beheaded for the witness of Jesus.
