Christians under attack in Nigeria, while the Biden administration turns a blind eye

Being a believer in Nigeria can be a death sentence...

As you read this, our brothers and sisters are under attack from Muslim extremists like Boko Haram, the Islamic State-West Africa Province, and other militants.

And they will stop at nothing until they’ve snuffed out Christianity entirely. National and local officials merely turn a blind eye to the violence and carnage.

Even the Biden administration refuses to acknowledge the carnage by their outrageous recent action that removed Nigeria from the Countries of Particular Concern list.

That’s why we’re fighting to demand the Biden administration address the violence against Christians by adding Nigeria back to the Countries of Particular Concern religious freedom watchlist immediately!

And we need you and all our faithful partners and friends to stand with us through your prayers and generosity. Will you give a generous gift today?

Your support today will fuel our fight through partnerships with local lawyers on the ground throughout Nigeria and the world to provide legal support, deploy resources, and defend the rights of believers to freely live out their faith.

If we don’t stand together, Christians will continue to suffer in this unpredictable, dangerous area of the world. They’ll continue to be treated as second-class citizens and live in fear of extremists. 

And many will continue to tragically lose their lives — and all because they believe in Jesus.

So please don’t wait. If we don’t defend persecuted Christians in courts around the world and at the highest levels of international law, who will?

PRAYER REQUEST

Stand with Pastor Keshab, convicted for prayer and evangelism in Nepal

Pastor Keshab, a local Christian leader in Nepal, was arrested and sentenced to 2 years in a Nepali prison cell for handing out Christian tracts and sharing his faith. The district court where Pastor Keshab was sentenced accused him of “outraging religious feelings” and “proselytizing.”

Right now, Pastor Keshab is home with his wife and small children. After 3 months of being unjustly behind bars, he’s temporarily free on bail and waiting for his appeal to be heard.

Will you join us in prayer on behalf of Pastor Keshab who’s under attack for sharing his faith?

Here’s how you can pray:

1. For God to give hope and strength to Pastor Keshab to keep fighting for freedom.
2. For God to give wisdom and insight to our allied lawyers who are defending Pastor Keshab.
3. For God to cover Pastor Keshab and his family with the peace and hope of Christ.
