🚨 BREAKING: Pastor James Audu Issa of Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Kwara State, Nigeria, was kidnapped and killed even after a ransom was paid for his release. According to reports, Pastor Issa was abducted on August 28, 2025, in Ekati village, Patigi. His captors initially demanded ₦100 million, later reduced it to ₦5 million, which was paid — yet they demanded more. Before further negotiations could continue, Pastor Issa was tragically murdered by his abductors. Authorities are investigating, while the Christian community in Nigeria continues to face relentless attacks from extremist groups. The body of Christ is feeling the heaviness of so many lives being taken for the sake of the gospel right now. We hang on to the hope that Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10 Let’s pray for Pastor Audu’s family, his congregation, and the persecuted Church across Nigeria — that the Lord would comfort, strengthen, and surround them with His presence. Though evil men shed innocent blood, the gospel continues to advance through the courageous. Mark 13:13 — “You will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
