Jos, Nigeria Fulani riot victim being buried
The International Christian Concern (ICC), http://www.persecution.org/ the Washington based non-profit Christian organization has called for the resignation of the nation’s head of security for neglecting to act when it mattered most.
In a statement in its Washington office, the President, Jeff King said that the story behind the story is that the head of the army, General Saleh Maina GOC Jos, (a Muslim) was warned by a Christian governor, Jonah David Jang, that an attack was coming the very night the attack occurred.
“The head of the army did nothing. Many reports from inside Nigeria have reached ICC saying that the head of the Army’s inaction may have been incompetence but it may have been worse,” he added.
Jeff King noted that ICC was outraged on March 7 when over 500 Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria adding that in addition to getting Senators and Congressional leaders to send letters to Nigerian officials calling for action, ICC purchased a full page ad in one of Nigeria’s leading newspapers calling for the resignation of the nation’s head of security.
Speaking on the orphans in Burma he said: “Tu Mua Pa is 6 years old. Her mother died years ago. Her father is still alive but hiding in Burma. She was with the orphanage when it was attacked on June 2009. She fled across the river with the others; but being the smallest, she couldn’t keep up. Despite suffering, her energy and bright smile are amazing.”
Recounting the plight of underground pastors, Jeff King mentioned the testimony of one underground pastor, who stated: “There are many people who love my family but would not dare step foot in my home because of their fear of the community. I try to take a very neutral approach. When I have an opportunity to help them, I do. Five days a week I walk around the community and try to help their needs.”
The underground pastor continued: “A boat is my main priority. Without a boat here, it is like you don’t have feet. You can’t move around. A boat is the main transportation. Also I want a lot of prayer from Christians. I feel like there is a lot of spiritual opposition and fear in the community in associating with me. There are lots of people in the community that would like to come, but they are afraid of the others. I need a lot of prayer to overcome that.”
Jeff King called for support to ICC: “You can sign up to be a monthly supporter of the persecuted through a monthly credit card (or bank account) transfer via our website. Your automated recurring gift will help us to plan, build and serve the persecuted with greater confidence. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to serve our persecuted brothers and sisters.”
According to him, ICC makes every effort to honor donor wishes in regards to their gifts. Occasionally, a situation will arise where a project is no longer viable. In that case, ICC will redirect those donated project funds to one of our other funds that is most similar to the donor’s original wishes. “You can sign up for recurring gifts or make a secure online donation by visiting our website.”
