Christian miraculously survives after being shot by Islamic extremists

A Christian man in Nigeria has spoken about his miraculous escape from execution after gunmen from Islamic extremist group Boko Haram broke into his home and threatened him with death.

Adamu Habila was asked by the gunmen whether he was "ready to die as a Christian" to which he replied "Yes".  He was then shot in the face moments later, but survived after the bullet exited the base of his cheek.

Allen Moxham, communications director for Open Doors UK said: "In Nigeria and many other places around the world, Christians face huge challenges to simply survive. Christianity is under threat.

"However the irony is, that it is people like Adamu and his witness, that will help the world see a better day. But without the prayers and support of the worldwide family of believers, he cannot continue."
