Nigerian Muslims killed 12 Christians

Truth Nigeria reports that Fulani Muslim jihadists killed 12 Christians, including a 4-year-old child, in two separate attacks in Benue State, Nigeria late last week.

The assailants reportedly moved from house to house, shouting Allahu Akbar, which means the Muslim god is greater, while attacking residents with machetes.

Meanwhile, across Nigeria’s Adamawa State, Boko Haram Muslim jihadists were conducting genocide, burning villages, and destroying churches.

One woman, who witnessed the carnage, told Truth Nigeria: “Neither women nor children are spared. They kill the men and kidnap the women for sex slavery. Our only offense is that we are Christians. They came in the night and killed dozens of Christians on October 1st and now even on following days.”

Clearly, the need for your prayers right now for the saints in Nigeria is urgent.

In the words of Habakkuk 1:2, “O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and You will not hear? Or cry to You ‘Violence!’ and You will not save?”

Canada has lost 68,000 jobs

The Canadian economy continues to slump, as the country marked 68,000 lost jobs in the month of September. This is the second straight month in which the country has lost jobs, despite economist predictions of gains in both August and September.

The unemployment rate in Canada now sits at 6.5 percent, and labor force participation is at its lowest rate in nearly 30 years.
