What is the bright spot in all of this heartbreak? Answered prayer!! God is hearing and answering our prayers for Philip and the persecuted Christians in Nigeria. What Philip told us yesterday seems straight out of the New Testament! Philip told us that God spoke to him, encouraging him to be courageous, and to speak clearly to the Muslims in his community, saying, “I AM has sent me to speak to you about His love for you.”

Evangelist P. resides and serves in a dangerous region of Nigeria with his wife and children. He has been a Fully Equipped Bible Institute student for over a year now, thanks to receiving an academic scholarship from a generous donor. Evangelist P. faithfully attends his online classes, as he views them as a source of encouragement and strengthening.

His testimony is remarkable. As a result of the sound biblical education and practical training he is receiving, Evangelist P. has been profoundly impacted by the need to forgive the persecutors who are murdering the people around him, including women and children. As a result of this biblical revelation, he focuses his evangelistic efforts on sharing the love of Jesus with the radical extremists attempting to murder Christians.

Pastor Gerald Mafabi serves in Mbale, Uganda. He is a Fully Equipped Bible Institute student that is immediately putting to use the biblical training he is receiving. Watch his testimony about his equipping journey.
