Christianah Oluwatoyin Olusase, the Christian teacher recently murdered by Muslim high-school students in Nigeria, left behind a husband, a three-year-old boy, and a ten-month-old daughter.  Glenn Penner of Voice of the Martyrs Canada reports that mission partners have given much-needed financial support.

[O]ur Nigerian mission partners have supplied the family with funds to offset the funeral and other expenses and that we will provide free education for the children at our school in Abeokuta; a school specifically set up to educate and care for children whose parents have been killed for their faith.

Thank God for the self-sacrificing dedication of the Christian church in Nigeria.  May our Lord comfort the family at this time.  May he protect and encourage Nigerian Christians facing persecution for their faith.
