The Voice of the Martyrs - Christians in Africa count the cost to follow Christ.

Front-line workers are serving and supporting persecuted Christians in Africa. Please stand with them.

Christians in Africa face ongoing persecution. Violent attacks by radical Islamist groups in countries like Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan have left many Christians in Africa without spouses, parents, livelihoods and homes. But faithful believers continue to follow Christ and serve their neighbors. As our brothers and sisters there endure persecution for Christ’s sake, we can support them through prayer and giving. Your gift to help them in their time of need will provide medical and material assistance after violent attacks replace Bibles destroyed by Muslim extremists equip front-line workers to reach Muslims for Christ SUPPORT CHRISTIANS IN AFRICA Your support will help widows like Justina, whose husband, Nehemiah, was killed by Fulani Islamic militants. Nehemiah was on his way to baptize some Christians in a neighboring village when he was attacked and murdered; his body was severely burned either during or after his murder. Justina lost her husband, and her 2-year-old son lost his father. “Losing my husband was the hardest thing,” she said, “but God has given me the strength to bear the loss and to keep moving.” Front-line workers gave Justina, who cannot read, an audio Bible so she can listen to God’s Word and continue to grow in faith. Despite losing her husband because of his faithful obedience to Christ, Justina said she could never think of leaving Jesus. “He has done everything for me,” she said. “I see the evidence of all he does in my life. When I serve God with all my heart, it makes him happy.” Your gifts help Christians in Africa, like Justina, by providing medical assistance, basic necessities, housing or training in a vocational skill. Your gift may also be used to replace Bibles destroyed by Muslim extremists or equip front-line workers with ministry tools to reach Muslims for Christ. We invite you to stand with persecuted Christians in Africa through your prayers and gifts today. Thank you!
