NIGERIA: Christian Widow's Home Burned and Crops Destroyed

Victoria lost her husband in an Islamist attack and now struggles to provide for her family.

Victoria Luka, a mother of five, lost her husband to an attack on 17 September 2018, near Jos. Their village was destroyed and their house burnt to ash. Victoria was able to escape to a neighbouring village with her children. Victoria is a farmer but has been unable to sell her produce and support her family because Islamists regularly destroy her crops, and she is unable to farm elsewhere because she cannot buy fertilizer or seeds.

Islamist groups regularly attack villages in central and northern parts of the country, and attacks against Christian communities are especially violent, leaving behind many widows.

• Victoria asks that we pray for God’s provision for her and her children.

• She also requests prayer for her children to follow Christ themselves.
