Congress Hears Pleas for Nigerian Christians
Faith Facts
- The U.S. has threatened military action and aid cuts over violence against Christians in Nigeria, raising deep concerns among researchers and faith advocates.
- Experts warn that reactive measures could harm Christians further by increasing division and insecurity, and call instead for long-term engagement to address root causes.
- The Fulani herdsmen have killed more Nigerian civilians than other extremist groups, with observers urging disarmament, targeted aid, and stronger action against those granting impunity.
Tensions between the U.S. and Nigeria have intensified as violence against Christians continues to escalate. Faith-based leaders urge policymakers to seek solutions that protect innocent lives and encourage unity rooted in Christian compassion.
Calls continue for American engagement that supports institutional stability and respects religious liberty, rather than divisive responses that risk worsening unrest. America is reminded to champion both justice and mercy as it seeks guidance on these pressing global challenges.
“If the Trump administration follows through on its threats of unilateral military action in Nigeria, it risks endangering the Christians that it claims it wants to protect,” Onubogu told the sub-committee.
“Instead of being reactive, the U.S. should focus on proactive long-term engagement in Nigeria that prioritizes institutional support to address the root causes of instability rather than just responding to crisis.”
“They are an unsophisticated but nevertheless lethal force because they come armed with AK-47s and 49s while their targets have only home-made pipe guns to defend themselves with.”
“Millions of the victims of Fulani herder militias are in need of humanitarian assistance for physical and psychological trauma. They need food aid since they have been driven from their farms,” Shea said.
Through steadfast prayer and clear-eyed action, believers are called to advocate for Nigerian Christians and seek solutions that uphold religious freedom, strengthen families, and preserve the right to worship without fear.
Faith Facts
- CNN is releasing a documentary portraying ‘Christian nationalism’ as a threat and linking it to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
- The documentary has been criticized for warning against the influence of classical Christian schools and for suggesting a shift among Christians after Kirk’s death.
- Christian leaders and commentators highlight that, in response to tragedy, many turned to faith, holding peaceful vigils and seeking spiritual revival.
CNN’s recent documentary has prompted concern by attempting to connect Christian values in America to negative events and radicalization. The program casts classical Christian education and faith-led communities as causes for worry, rather than recognizing their positive impact on family, faith, and national unity.
Several voices within the Christian conservative movement are challenging this biased narrative, pointing out that believers responded to loss and adversity with prayer, unity, and renewed dedication to Biblical truth. Instead of destruction, the faithful came together in peace and spiritual awakening, anchored by hope and trust in God.
“How is that a bad thing? What are we even talking about here?”
Families who embrace Christian values know the importance of raising children in faith, cultivating leaders grounded in truth and moral courage. Education rooted in Christian principles equips the next generation to preserve freedom and stand boldly for righteousness in the public square.
Now more than ever, we are called to champion the influence of Christian schools and the right to live out our faith in every sphere of society. Stand firm in truth and do not be swayed by media campaigns that distort the heart of the Christian community.

Faith Facts
- Spiritual disciplines such as prayer and introspection must guide Christian action in society.
- Acting impulsively can lead to counterproductive outcomes, as shown by Simon Peter’s reaction in John 18:10.
- Transformative faith involves moving from self-sufficiency to belonging and from control to trust.
Christian duty compels us to act for justice and mercy, but our actions must be rooted in steady spiritual discipline. Without preparation of heart and soul in Christ, well-meant efforts can stray from God’s purpose.
“It sounded legalistic, robbing me of my freedom in Christ. And my time was already so pressured, with an unjust war to stop, after all.”
Through intentional practices—prayer, reflection, accountability, and quiet retreat—believers become equipped for meaningful service. Wes Granberg-Michaelson’s example shows that transformation starts with humble engagement with God before striving for change in the world.
Embracing spiritual discipline ensures our engagement advances love, patience, and truth, rather than division or haste. The journey moves us toward deeper authenticity with the Lord and one another.
Major social change unfolds over time and requires steadfast faithfulness, including an open heart even toward opponents. Lent offers an opportunity to cultivate these practices and answer God’s call with both conviction and compassion.
Stand strong in faith as you work for good, ensuring your actions are shaped by Biblical grounding and the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
