Persecution in Nigeria
What's Happening in Nigeria
As you may have heard in the news, our Christian brothers and sisters in Nigeria have been suffering under the weight of persecution for many years. Many thousands have been killed, and many displaced or kidnapped. Most of the violence is coming from Islamic groups like Boko Haram and militias of ethnic Fulanis.

How we can help
While some in the US government have been advocating for Nigerian Christians for some time, only recently has anything of substance begun to happen. Recently, President Trump did order drone strikes in northern Nigeria, but how much affect this will have is still unknown. We can very easily contact our representatives in Congress and
press them to make a difference.
