Nigeria: Pastor Gideon's Story of Unspeakable Tragedy and Extraordinary Forgiveness
Every year, thousands of Nigerian Christians are killed for their faith by militants who are determined to turn the country into an Islamic state. In 2023, between December 23rd and 30th alone, 238 Christians were killed in Nigeria's Plateau State as a result. During one of the attacks, Pastor Gideon Dawel lost his pregnant wife and five daughters, who tragically perished on Christmas Eve when their house was set on fire. Pastor Gideon speaks with VOMC's podcast host, Greg Musselman, about the devastating loss of his entire family, his remarkable journey to forgiveness, and how he is able to face the future with great hope – knowing that he will assuredly see his loved ones again in eternity with Christ.
