Consider the bees and how they work together to ensure that they thrive. So it is with our Christian life. We need one another in order to thrive in our walk with Jesus. In an era of increasing individualism and correlated loneliness we do well to remember that we are all part of one body, never meant to be living, working, or ministering alone.

In April, the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) - an offshoot of Boko Haram and an affiliate of the Islamic State in parts of Nigeria and the Sahel - deployed four armed drones carrying grenades in an attempted attack on a military base in Borno, northeast Nigeria.

A proposed law to regulate the registration and formation of religious groups in Mozambique is likely to compound the scale of persecution of Christians in the country.
