Unbowed, Unbroken: Nigerian Christians Hold Fast to Faith Amidst Violent Persecution

The tragic reality of persecution against believers in Nigeria continues to demand our attention and prayer. Details emerging from on-the-ground reports paint a sobering picture of relentless suffering endured by our Christian brothers and sisters.

  • Who: Christians across Nigeria are being systematically targeted by dominant Islamic-based regimes.
  • Where: This immense violence is pervasive across various regions of Nigeria.
  • What happened: An ongoing campaign involving massacres and a “hidden war” of persecution is being waged against Christian communities, now being brought to global awareness.

As fellow members of the global Body of Christ, it is imperative that we stand in unwavering solidarity with our Nigerian brothers and sisters. Their profound suffering, borne for their faith in Jesus, is a stark reminder of the cost of discipleship in many parts of the world. We cannot remain silent or indifferent while these atrocities continue; their resilience in the face of such darkness calls us to urgent prayer, advocacy, and support, remembering that when one part of the body suffers, we all suffer.

Prayer Point: Please pray for divine protection and unwavering spiritual strength for all Christians facing persecution in Nigeria. Pray also for a miraculous softening of hearts among those perpetrating violence, that they may encounter the transforming love of Christ.
