The rise of persecution continues. Any excuse will do.

From the Assemblies of God New Service:

We have received reports from AG missionaries in Niger that, in spreading violence related to the attacks in Paris, Muslim extremists attacked and burned four AG churches and one parsonage in the town of Niamey and an AG church and pastor’s home were burned yesterday in the town of Zinder. Thankfully, no lives have yet been lost, but violence seems to be spreading.

Please pray for the safety of our missionaries as well as pastors and national believers in Niger.
