"In June, Boko Haram kidnapped a Christian refugee woman in the middle of the night. They dragged her into the bush and stole all her valuables before sending her back to the refugee camp with a warning for other Christians: Get out of the area within three days or be killed. Many of the Christians left in a panic, and area churches are currently hosting forty-nine Christian refugees. Several thousand people have taken refuge at the camps in Niger after fleeing Boko Haram violence in nearby northeastern Nigeria. Although few of the refugees are Christians, believers in the camps face continual discrimination from Muslim refugees. This is just one example of the injustices that believers are facing around the world (via
icommittopray.com)." Source: Voice of the Martyrs
Way to Pray: Pray for the refugees that have had to flee the camps. Please also pray that these believers will stand strong in their faith and be a picture of God's love to those around them.

Habitat for Humanity is an organization that helps people in our community to build or improve a place they can call home. Right now, the Greenville Chapter of Habitat for Humanity has a significant shortage of volunteers. If you are interested in giving your time and skill set to help out with a Habitat project, you can check out their volunteer page.
