very nicely said, who will want to go to were you will close your eyes to pray ,and know not what happens before its open. my suggestion is that it is in the best discretion of reputable christian to organise and pay experts from developed countries, who are counter militias. that will be present hour neccesity. thanks

It would make sense not to meet in the same place every week. God is not limited to meeting us just in a church.

Go to church, if your scared go to a house church. Or maybe your church should preach smaller services all week long to keep the numbers as low as possible making an attack less likely.

But don't let those God less cowards scare you, Boko Haram is an organization fed by fear and intimidation. The Bible is very clear if we allow fear to rule our lives we will destroy ourselves.

Now when I say fear only God I'm not saying God is necessarily going to protect you. What it means is your going to heaven you have nothing to fear for they can blow you up, they can destroy your earthly vessel but they cant kill your soul!

These men who are killing innocent woman and children and unarmed innocent civilians they are cowards. They aren't Muslims I know real Muslims those in Boko Haram are the lowest life forms on the face of the earth. Do not allow their hatred, wicked and absolute lack of respect for human life and dignity scare you.

Also be careful you don't let them make you hate! Boko Haram wants a Holy War they want to provoke a war they want Christians to lower themselves to their level. Don't allow hatred to consume your hearts, remember Muslims are simply misled they aren't all bad people.

If you allow Boko Haram to harden your heart if they cause you to hide in fear, then they've won!

I was asked to be a pastor in the United States a few years back, if I was a pastor in Nigeria and preaching to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

I would have a specific message, go out of your churches and help the less fortunate Muslims. Send food to the impoverished areas. In any area where you can do so safely go in and show the the love of Christ.

Boko Haram feeds off of hatred, they are trying to create hatred in the North they are trying to make their fellow Muslims think that Christians are out to destroy them, that this is a war!

It is not a war between Christianity and Islam. Its a war against cowardly God less scum bags who feed off of peoples pain and rule with fear!

I hope if you are living in Nigeria you know that you have the support of the global church. Our church here in British Columbia, Canada prays for you regularily as does a large amount of other churches. In prayer we show solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Evil will never prevail, don't let yourself ever believe otherwise!
