Mr Saleh explained that in the last week, the church spent over N3 million to cater for the needs of its displaced members taking refuge in its various local churches.

Keoleh Saleh, the president of the Baptist Conference in Plateau, says that 50 church members, including a pastor, were killed in recent attacks in the state’s Mangu and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas (LGAs).

In an interview on Sunday in Jos, the state capital, Mr Saleh disclosed that over 500 of its members were also displaced.

“This unfortunate carnage affected the Baptist Church seriously; In Kantoma, where we have a big church, we lost over 31 members, including a Moderator,” he said.

He said 23 women lost their husbands in the attack. Mr Saleh added that nine and one members were killed in Jwak Maitumbi and Kombili, respectively.

“We have located four centres in Jos metropolis where a family is hosting between 10 to 20 people, and we have over 200 displaced persons in Jos.

“We have 50 in Barkin Ladi, over 200 in Salama Baptist Church in Mangu and 78 others that included 44 little children at Bwarak, Pankshin,” he said.

Should we go there and fight for them? Where did those girls go when Michell was in the WH?

There were two condemned men who were crucified with the Lord Jesus Christ.

One entered paradise that day.

The other, by the accounts we have, didn’t.

All of humanity is represented by those two condemned men who deserved the judgment they were under. There are only two options, and only one is “the way, the truth and the life”.

For a believer to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord.

These Muslim killers are still under the sentence of spiritual death for they are still dead in their trespasses and sins.

No one is asking you to do anything.

However the way you are responding to this means that just knowing simple facts make you uncomfortable.

Perhaps you should ask yourself why.

Do you prefer not to know about the mohammedans killing people?

Perhaps you dislike being reminded of the fact that in places around the world people are being killed because of what they believe?

Come on. 3 responses so far. Nobody else here wants to know either. Perhaps they know already and don’t have time to deal with another corrupt country. When it goes one here I’ll think about it.

So everybody does it is your rational?

Because you are the only one who has control over you and you willingly surrender your autonomy to the crowd.

Fascinating.

We didn’t save Iraq or Afghanistan. Mighta made things worse. Worth the lives and money? (my original point).No good deed goes unpunished. Heard that one?
