Faith Under Fire: Attacks on Christians in Nigeria
Faith Facts
- Fulani herdsmen attacked Christian farmers in Bauchi state, leaving one dead and three wounded.
- Hundreds of Christian farmers lost their crops in a series of August attacks, and violent raids expanded into neighboring Plateau state.
- Nigeria remains the deadliest country for Christians, with thousands killed for their faith according to the 2025 World Watch List.
Christian communities in Nigeria’s North-Central Region continue to face grave danger, with renewed attacks leaving families grieving and crops devastated. The violence has prompted church leaders to call for urgent prayer and steadfast faith in God’s justice and peace.
“Therefore at this moment, we solicit that we all go on our knees for prayers to our loving God to bring this conflict to a swift end for the betterment of our land and people.”
Community leaders have condemned the brutal attacks and urged calm, recognizing that resilience and faith must anchor them through these trials. New military efforts, now under Operation Enduring Peace, promise more robust action, but local Christians know true peace comes from God’s intervention.
Let us stand united in prayer for our brothers and sisters enduring persecution. Join us in lifting up Nigeria, asking the Lord to bring hope, courage, and lasting freedom for His people.
