The Voice of the Martyrs - You can help Nigerian Christian widows like Rebeccah

Stand with Nigerian Widows

Nearly all Christians in northeastern Nigeria have lost family members or friends in attacks by Boko Haram or militant Fulani Muslims that have left many widowed and orphaned. Often without formal education or employable skills, many of our Nigerian sisters in Christ struggle to feed their families after their husbands die. And while a deceased husband’s family is culturally expected to care for his widow, some families refuse to care for Christian widows, especially those who left Islam to follow Christ. Stand With Them Rebeccah’s husband was shot to death by Boko Haram militants as he walked to church one day in 2014. Rebeccah said her faith wavered after her husband’s murder, but after receiving months of instruction from God’s Word and processing her pain with other Christians, her faith has been restored. “I want people to know that our God does not leave his children. He loves them,” she said. We invite you to stand with our Nigerian sisters in Christ whose husbands have been killed for their faith.
