Tabitha thought her story was over. When extremists killed her husband and destroyed her home in northern Nigeria, she fled with nothing but her children and her faith. Today, she runs a thriving livestock business that supports her family and employs others in her community—proof of what happens when believers worldwide help persecuted Christians rebuild their lives.
What changed? The global church stood with her.
Across Nigeria, millions of Christians face violence, displacement, and discrimination for following Jesus. Yet their resilience shines as a testimony to what happens when believers worldwide unite in prayer, support, and action.
You can be part of their story. Here are seven ways to stand with persecuted Christians in Nigeria.
Watch a short, sharable video about Tabitha’s story.
You can help persecuted Christians in Nigeria in these seven ways.
1. Pray Boldly
Nigerian Christians face daily threats of violence, displacement, and death. Your prayers become their strength when extremists attack their villages, burn their churches, and target their families. Intercession isn’t passive—it’s warfare against the forces trying to destroy the Nigerian church.
2. Share Their Stories
Every story shared breaks the silence that persecution thrives in. When the world knows what’s happening to Nigerian believers, governments respond, aid flows, and lives are saved. Your voice amplifies theirs when they can’t speak for themselves. GCR’s Instagram feed is a great place to find sharable stories.
3. Support Education
Thousands of Christian children have lost years of schooling to violence and displacement. GCR-supported schools in IDP camps are often the only path to a future beyond survival. Education breaks the cycle of poverty that persecution creates and builds tomorrow’s leaders.
4. Empower Women
Christian widows face double persecution—violence for their faith and abandonment by their culture. GCR’s income-generating projects restore their dignity and independence. When women can provide for their families, entire communities stabilize.
5. Invest in the Next Generation
Young survivors need more than shelter—they need purpose and hope. GCR’s youth empowerment programs are training the next generation of Nigerian Christian leaders, ensuring the church’s future despite today’s violence.
6. Provide for Basic Needs
Clean water, medical care, and safe shelter aren’t luxuries for displaced families—they’re necessities for survival. GCR’s relief efforts keep families alive and communities together when extremists try to scatter them.
7. Stand With the Movement
This isn’t charity—it’s family. When you commit to ongoing prayer and support, you join a global movement that refuses to let Nigerian Christians face persecution alone. Your partnership declares that the body of Christ knows no borders.
When you support GCR’s efforts in Nigeria, you’re doing all of these things—standing with persecuted believers in the most practical, powerful ways possible.
The Nigerian church refuses to surrender. Neither should we.
