The Association of Evangelicals in Africa releases a statement after a well-known Nigerian Christian leader and his family were brutally attacked.

Churches are aware that the continent is one of the least prepared regions from a sanitary standpoint. Christians maintain an attitude of prayer and service while they work alongside the authorities.

Africa has become “an easy prey, because of its vulnerability and the abiding Western interest in the region”, says the Secretary General of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa (AEA).

The Association of Evangelicals in Africa encourages local churches in the continent and other Christians to pray and give to the project. 

“We live in a global village and Africans understand the village life better- each person's problem is everyone's problem”, said AEA leader to Evangelical Focus. Christians in the continent ask Muslims to condemn violence against Christians.
