TWR reaches out to Nigerians in Crisis
No country on the African continent has as many people in it as Nigeria. In fact, with 170 million people, it has the 7th largest population of the world even though it only ranks 32nd in terms of its geographic size.[1] That’s a lot of people in a relatively small space.
Northern Nigeria also falls into the famous 10/40 window, which is a window on the world containing the largest number of unreached people’s groups on the planet.[2] Although southern Nigeria doesn’t fall into this window, and considering the enormous population, and relatively small area, peaceful relations are strained in this country.
Thankfully, we serve the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and desiring to be an instrument of peace in Nigeria over the radio waves, TWR is mobilising a project to reach two of the many tribes of north-eastern Nigeria.
