Former Muslim Pastor Evangelizes Fulani Muslims

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – A former Islamic Fulani Nigerian, Pastor Eli Abdullah Tinau, is now evangelizing Fulani Muslims in Nigeria’s Plateau state, despite Fulani terrorists having set fire to his home during one of their relentless attacks on Christians in the region, Baptist News (BN) reports.

Together with Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Fulani jihadist herdsmen have murdered at least 55,000 Christians and have kidnapped, raped, and displaced many thousands more since Islamic terrorism took hold in Nigeria in 2009.

Now a missionary and pastor of Evangelical Church Winning All in Nkiendoro, about 60 miles from Jos in the Bassa Local Government Area, Tinau has been able to lead two Fulani to Christ, BN reports. “I will never go back to Islam,” Tinau said in a statement to International Christian Concern.

Tinau is standing for Christ, risking his life, and advancing his missionary work to Fulani Muslims despite being subject to terror threats by militants from this community. “Christ has not compromised. I will not compromise. I will continue to preach and bring additional souls to Christ,” Tinau attested.

In a statement about the situation facing Christians in Nigeria, the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization states: “Violence by Islamic extremist groups such as Fulani militants, Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State in West African Province) increased during the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari, putting Nigeria at the epicenter of targeted violence against the church. The government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the militants’ influence.”
