This is a day of sorrow for most of us members of the Deeper Life Campus Fellowship and graduates of the Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Owerri, Nigeria. While walking along the road this evening, my phone rang. I brought it out to check who was calling. A sister in our fellowship and graduate of the school was on the line. She was a dear friend so I, picked the call with joy in my voice. But the response I got was bone chilling. She was weeping. Amidst tears, she told me that one of our past sister leaders was late. The cause of her death? Religious/political killings which started in parts of Northern Nigeria after the results of the presidential election held on saturday was announced.
The beloved sister was burnt in their family house along wit her siblings.
Other brethren in parts of the muslim dominated North have been calling in and are telling of tensions around. The news of the sister's death made me cry but I know I must convert my tears to prayers for other christians there that God will shelter them. Pls join us to pray.
