Christian persecution in Nigeria The Crisis facing your Church family in Nigeria

Christians in Nigeria are the targets for relentless attacks from Boko Haram and other extremist groups. Homes are leveled. Villages are emptied overnight. Families are torn apart. These believers are not statistics. They are mothers, fathers, pastors, and children – your Church family.

Eyewitness of Faith Androwas's courageous witness after Boko Haram attacked his village

Androwas (16) sleeps on the gravel floor inside an unfinished structure in a Nigerian IDP camp.

The night Boko Haram stormed his village and demanded he deny his faith, he refused.

"We would rather die and we told them to kill us."

Androwas escaped and spent the next 10 years as a refugee in Cameroon. When food ran out, he returned to Nigeria and lost his leg in a major accident.

For all that he's been through in his young life, he holds tight to his Christian faith and dreams of one day going to school and opening a small business.

You can help build the future for young, courageous Christians like Androwas.

Defend young believers

He will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

— Hebrews 6:10

When Boko Haram attacked her village, Lydia fled to Cameroon with her family. She suffered the unimaginable loss of her twin girls.

When food ran out at the refugee camp, Lydia made the difficult journey back to Nigeria. At an IDP camp, she received a small business loan and opened a local tuck shop.

Today, God has blessed Lydia with 6 children. She's able to provide for her family with her business.
