We request your prayers for the Central and North East Conferences of Nigeria following recent tribal violence involving members of the Wurkun and Karinjo communities. The conflict centers on a dispute over traditional kingship. Sadly, many of those involved are members of both the Global Methodist Church and the United Methodist Church, and the violence has deeply affected families, congregations, and communities.

Please join us in praying for the following:
1. Pray for peace and reconciliation between the Wurkun and Karinjo people, that God will heal divisions, soften hearts, and restore unity among the communities.
2. Pray for the family of Rev. Suleman Shukla, a Presiding Elder who was tragically killed during the violence. Ask God to comfort and strengthen his family during this time of grief and loss.
3. Pray for displaced families, especially pregnant women, children, and the elderly, whose homes have been burned. Many are sleeping outdoors and are vulnerable to malaria, hunger, and other hardships. Pray for their protection, provision, and safe shelter.
4. Pray for love, unity, and wisdom among pastors serving in the affected areas, that they may be instruments of peace, healing, and reconciliation.
5. Pray for the leaders of the two conferences, that God will grant them wisdom, courage, and discernment as they guide their congregations through this difficult season.
6. Pray for the Church's witness in the region, that believers will rise above tribal divisions, demonstrate Christ's love, and work together to promote peace, justice, and reconciliation.
7. Pray for government and traditional leaders, that they will act with wisdom and fairness to bring lasting peace and prevent further violence.

May God's peace, healing, and reconciliation prevail throughout the affected communities and among all His people.
