Christians in Nigeria Targeted in Islamist Attacks Stand with Them Through Prayer and Giving

Persecution is a daily reality for many Christians in Nigeria. They are targeted in attacks by Islamists, yet they remain faithful to Christ! Militant Fulani Muslims routinely target Christian communities in the “middle belt” of the country, burning homes, destroying churches, displacing families and leaving many Christians without spouses, parents or children. And in the north, Boko Haram carries out devastating attacks against Christians in its campaign to establish an Islamist caliphate governed by Islamic law. But faithful believers continue to follow Christ and serve their neighbors in Nigeria. As our Nigerian brothers and sisters endure persecution, we can support them through prayer and giving. Your gift now will provide medical and material assistance after violent attacks replace Bibles destroyed by Muslim extremists equip front–line workers to reach Muslims for Christ DONATE NOW Your gifts will help Christians like Sade, whose family was persecuted by Muslim extremists. When Sade heard the screams of her neighbors as militant Fulani Muslims raided her village, she and her three daughters ran for safety. The extremists had attacked her village before, and Sade knew their lives were in danger. Sade, her children and several others took shelter in her brother’s apartment. But when militants discovered them and were unable to break in, they set the building on fire. The apartment filled with smoke, but Sade and the others were still afraid to leave. To help her children breathe, she dampened her skirt and wrapped it around their faces. But soon the heat became unbearable and they had to leave the building. Thankfully, the militants had left by then. Sade watched the building burn to the ground, only later learning that her husband had been shot to death while attempting to flee. Sade and her children took refuge in a camp for internally displaced people, where they stayed until VOM began helping them. Thank you for supporting Christians like Sade who have been persecuted because of their faith in Christ. Your gift will make a difference for families like hers.
