Davou Bulle, his wife, and their 10 children each climbed into the van, exhausted from another full day of work on their family's farm. He started to pull away but was soon jarred to attention by the sound of gunshots hitting the tires. They were being ambushed because of his faith!
The Muslim attackers soon aimed their weapons at the driver, in hopes to first kill the Christian "infidel" then kill his entire family. In an attempt to protect his father son Gyan lunged at the bullets to shield him but the bullets found their way to their intended target, killing Davou. Gyan trying to help his father took 14 bullets during the ambush. Davou's wife Mary was hit in the eye during the attack.
Mary was taken into surgery immediately. She lost one of her eyes as a result of the attack. Son Gyan was also operated on removing all 14 bullets from his body miraculously he survived! Davou left behind a wife and 10 children.
More than 10,000 Christians have been killed since 1999 in Nigeria and nearly 1,000 homes and churches have been burned down by Muslim radicals - all because of their faith in Jesus Christ. VOM has opened up a center in Jos, Nigeria for the purpose of helping Christian widows who have lost their husbands at the hands of Muslim fanatics. This center will help these widows develop a trade in sewing or computers.

Google is your friend. This article was written back in late 2001 and states 6,000 deaths. Of course Muslims are very persistent savages, so no doubt this number probably is 10,000 by now.
O Lord, hold this family close to You and be a shield for all Your people who boldly proclaim Your truth. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
its a sentence in the article...
the article is from The Voice of the Matyrs monthly newsletter.
What do you want a source for? The #??
Yes, living in Washington I've becomme wary of un sourced numbers, i.e,, 100,000 policeman, 100,000 teachers, 100,000 dead Iraqi's since operation freedom.
Have you heard of whats happening over there to Christians?
Read whats happening to them in Sudan.
10,000 is not the number to quibble over when the murders are so many.
Follow up:
I appreciate the skepticism...its a good discerning attitude...I'm just saying the amount of 10,000 is small compared to the amount of killings being done.
The religion of peace kills again. They are programmed to cut off heads. Can't we get them a life fulfilling job at KFC?
