Christians in Nigeria have been marked for eradication.
MANY WON’T SEE TOMORROW
Believers in Nigeria face a mounting wave of violence spearheaded by a radical agenda to eliminate Christianity. Islamic extremists decimate entire villages with impunity, killing men and abducting women and children. The impact is devastating to individuals, families, and communities.
There’s no nice way to dress up the cruelty unleashed on Christians. There’s no pleasant path to take when talking about terror, and trauma, and unimaginable despair. Fikiru*, a research expert for Open Doors East Africa, puts it plainly:
“Let’s make no mistake: persecutors are targeting Christians for their faith. Christianity is growing fast in our region, and these adversaries and people of other faiths feel that they are losing ground. They want to stop Christianity by attacking and persecuting.”
There’s an inexplicable concealment of their plight that has left believers across the African continent asking why no one sees them—why no one hears them.
Leaders in Africa wonder, “Are we still in the hearts and minds of believers around the world, praying for us?”
Let them know they are not forgotten. Support them today.
HELP CHRISTIANS IMPACTED BY VIOLENCE
ON GOING THREATS
A recent and devastating attack in Yelewata, Benue State, Nigeria, killed over 200 people and displaced thousands. Islamic extremists rushed the village, firing weapons and scattering the community.
Ongoing threats leading up to the violence had already forced business owners to protect their livelihood and businesses by sleeping on the floor in their shopfronts. When the extremists descended all at once, they showed no mercy.
