BENIN: Pastor's Son Abducted

In December 2024, Adam Amdou, the adult son of a pastor, was kidnapped from his home and his whereabouts are still unknown. The abductors are members of an Islamist terrorist group who were angered that Adam’s father refused to obey their orders to stop his Christian ministry activities. Since Adam’s abduction, his family, including his father, his wife and his two children, have received no word on his condition. They do not know where he is or if he is alive. “His wife and children are receiving some support from local Christians,” said a Front-Line Worker. “But their situation remains very difficult.”

• The Front-Line Worker asked for prayer for Adam and his family, for their safety and for them to find comfort in the Lord despite the difficulties theyre facing.

• Pray also for Christians in Benin to be bold in sharing the Gospel and bringing others to Christ despite the risks.
