WM
WM Aug-Sept 2010 : Minority Christians
Many of our partners worldwide are Christians who are living in complex and difficult situations, sometimes where Christianity is very much a minority religion. The latest issue of WM hears from some of these people and updates us about life today for Christians in Palestine, Nepal, Nigeria, India and Bangladesh. WM's Prayer Focus page also provides resources for both prayer and action.
>> One of WM's contributors is Elijah Obinna, a theology and sociology student, and a minister with the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria. You can hear an audio interview with Elijah on this page here.
