Please pray for all Christians who are being persecuted.

In recent years, concerns over religious freedom increased substantially. Last week at the 2024 International Religious Freedom Summit, over a thousand people gathered to learn more about what can be done globally to protect the human right of religious liberty. Speakers at the conference pointed out that there are some areas of the world receiving less attention than others, and one of those places is Nigeria.

Since 2009, over 52,000 Christians have been slaughtered in Nigeria due to intense persecution. Only recently, a brutal attack during Christmas killed nearly 200 Nigerian Christians. Out of the estimated 5,621 Christians who were killed in 2023, an overwhelming majority of those homicides occurred in Nigeria. Despite the significant death toll that experts say borders on the edge of genocide, the persecution has so far remained largely under the radar of legacy media outlets.
