It is with a heavy
heart that Church of the Nativity will not be
sending teams of missionaries to Abuja or Jos this summer. Unfortunately, the
targeted violence of Boko Haram and the inability of the government or
police to effectively control the situation has led us to this
decision. It is important to Church of the Nativity that
this relationship remain strong and vibrant, even in the wake of a team
not traveling to Jos or Abuja this summer. Church of the Nativity ministers have been gathering regularly to
pray for peace in the region as well as for the work of Faith Alive Hospital and the Missionary Sisters of the Poorest of the Poor. This summer, our parish will be
fasting and joining in prayer for the continued success of both missions.
Church of the Nativity will continue supporting Faith Alive Hospital and Missionary Sisters of the Poorest of the Poor through joint projects with Hope for West Africa Foundation as well. We look forward to sending teams to serve in again in Abuja and Jos once the
region has stabilized. Please continue to lift these communities up through prayers of peace.
