4,216 Nigerian Christians killed since January 1st

Equipping the Persecuted released a report this month, documenting the ongoing slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, Africa. 

Over 4,216 Christians were killed in the West African nation between January 1 and September 8 of this year. Most of the violence against Christian farming communities appears to be religiously motivated. It’s largely carried out through Islamic militant networks.

Violence has also displaced over five million Christians and destroyed over 600 Christian communities. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. 

1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”

Listen to the previous related comments from President Donald Trump on July 14th at the White House.

What we do have is the oil companies are all going in now, and they're doing partnerships with Iraq, and they're getting along very well. The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don't need the military there. We're there to help them. We're there to protect them, if need be.”
