When missionaries leave their country of service, they leave their hearts behind. Dennis & Coletta Shelly served in Nigeria for four decades and are in weekly contact with the seminary where they taught. Militant Muslims recently attacked four towns, one town just one mile from the seminary. Thirty-two local people were killed, over 200 houses and 32 shops were burned, and 3 vehicles and 17 motorcycles were vandalized. Two sisters of a student were kidnapped. People live in fear. Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters.
