Story number 3 for 24 Aug 2001

(Nigeria)–News accounts in Nigeria are reporting that prominent Islamic leaders have begun discussions with Governors of Sharia States on how to implement the Islamic legal system without infringing on the fundamental rights of non-Muslims. Recent riots underscored the need to ensure peace and cordiality among both Muslims and Christians in Sharia practicing states. Please pray for believers in these areas, as they have been experiencing an increase of hostilities, which has hampered evangelistic outreach.
