Faithful Provider, we join with saints around the world, lifting up families who have lost everything—homes burned, food taken, and safety stripped away. Thank You for allowing us to pray for the courageous rescue teams as they move believers into secure locations. Miraculously supply them with food, shelter, and strength for every household now depending fully on You.
We know that “When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing” (Psalm 145:16), and we rejoice that even in this time of great difficulty You are our provision and shelter. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I live in Kano, one of the oldest cities in northern Nigeria, where the desert winds carry both dust and history. Once the seat of a powerful Hausa kingdom, our city remains a cultural and religious center — proud, resilient, and alive with tradition. Nigeria itself is a land of vast contrast — from the humid forests of the south to the arid plains of the north — and our people are its greatest treasure. More than 250 ethnic groups and hundreds of languages fill this nation with beauty and complexity.
Yet, despite our wealth of culture and resources, life here is often marked by hardship. In the north, followers of Jesuslive under constant threat from Boko Haram and other extremist groups. Villages are attacked, churches burned, and believers driven from their homes. Many live in fear but refuse to let fear define them. Across the nation, poverty, food shortages, and malnutrition weigh heavily, especially on our children.
Here in Kano, the Hausa people — the largest unreached tribe in Africa — fill the markets, schools, and mosques. They are deeply spiritual, faithful in prayer, and bound by tradition. Yet I believe that God sees them with compassion and has not forgotten this land. Even in the shadow of violence and drought, the Church is rising — feeding the hungry, caring for the abandoned, and sharing the hope of Christ with love and courage. In the face of systemic collapse, this is our moment — to reveal the Kingdom of God through words, works, and wonders, and to see His light pierce the darkest places.
Pray for the Hausa people — that the Gospel would take root among them and transform their communities from within. (Romans 10:14–15)
