Muslim Nigerians killed 100 Christians on Easter Sunday
Over the Easter weekend, 100 Nigerian Christians were murdered in Benue State and 1,500 additional believers were displaced, reports EquippingThePersecuted.org.
Fifty others were hospitalized after Islamic terrorists, armed with assault rifles, opened fire at 200 refugees who were camping in a primary school 15 miles northwest of Makurdi, the state capital.
Mr. Tarbo David, a resident who witnessed the attack, said they drove in on motorcycles, overpowered the six police officers, and walked from classroom to classroom, shooting the doors open, and then slaughtering the victims in their sleep with machetes and swords. Those who struggled or sought to escape were shot.
Eight other residents in the surrounding area were also killed.
Revelation 6:9-10 says, “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?”
Equipping the Persecuted is raising $250,000 to help the wounded, the sick, and the displaced. These funds will go towards providing proper shelter, food, sleeping mats, and medicine.

Robert F. Kennedy prepares presidential run
Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president, ready to challenge Joe Biden for the nomination in 2024, reports ABC News.
On Wednesday, Kennedy filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.
The son of Senator Robert Kennedy, who was assassinated on June 6, 1968, he has risen to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic for his books The Real Anthony Fauci, A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID, and The Wuhan Cover-Up: How U.S. Health Officials Conspired with the Chinese Military to Hide the Origins of COVID-19.
Kennedy, who founded Children’s Health Defense, had been long involved in the anti-vaccine movement.
KENNEDY: “The generation of American children, born after 1990, are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country with chronic ailments and pediatric rates of some chronic conditions that are the highest in the world. For example, according to CDC, one in every six American children has been diagnosed with a developmental disability such as autism, ADD, ADHD, or learning disabilities. And, according to HHS, and astonishing 54% of American children has a chronic disease like rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile diabetes.
“Our federal agencies are not asking an essential question, ‘What is debilitating America’s children?’ We need to know that answer and we need to stop these exposures to our children today!
“The forces that I’m up against are forces that have been able to compromise every major institution in our democracy. And the people who stand up against them get crushed. But I know how to fight them because I’ve spent a lifetime fighting big shots and fighting bullies. And that’s who they are. And that’s who we’re dealing with today, people who have that arrogance of power, people who believe that they can get away with anything, including destroying the lives of our children.”
No doubt Kennedy will give President Biden a run for his money on both the COVID vaccine and the shutdowns.
Man, pretending to be a woman, killed cab driver in Portland
On Easter Sunday, a gender-confused man reportedly stabbed a taxi driver to death in Portland, Oregon, reports LifeSiteNews.
Moses Jacob Lopez, a man who pretends to be a woman, has been charged with murder and unlawful use of a weapon for allegedly killing a 43-year-old Radio Cab driver named Reese Lawhon, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
A video showed the 30-year-old Lopez getting in the cab while wearing “a tiara and women’s clothing.”
Church purchased & forgave $3 million in medical debt for residents
And finally, more than 3,000 Davidson County, North Carolina residents no longer have to worry about being hassled by debt collectors after a local church recently purchased, and forgave, almost $3 million in their medical bills through the Debt Jubilee Project, reports the Lexington Dispatch.
Rev. John Jackman of Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem wants to help families who were working paycheck-to-paycheck before being driven into poverty by an illness or an accident.
In the past three months, the campaign raised $15,048 in cash, which was used to purchase nearly $3.3 million in medical debts in Davidson, Davie and Yadkin counties in North Carolina.
Each person whose debt was purchased and forgiven received an official letter that their debt was wiped away.
Colossians 2:14 says, God has “forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross.”
