God’s People Face Alarming Persecution, Hope Endures

Radical Fulani terrorists launched a series of brutal attacks across Plateau State, Nigeria, resulting in the deaths of eight Christians between April 3 and April 11.

The violence targeted several areas, including Jol village and Barkin Ladi, where students and elders were ambushed by armed militia.

Local residents report that the assailants consistently target Christian farming communities to seize land and impose Islamic dominance.

This ongoing persecution highlights the urgent need for spiritual warfare and physical protection for our brothers and sisters in the Middle Belt.

Faith Facts

• Fulani terrorists killed eight Christians in Plateau State, including student Geoffrey Infinity and a 60-year-old man, Daniel M. Dung.
• Nigeria remains the deadliest country for followers of Christ, accounting for 72 percent of Christian martyrdoms worldwide according to Open Doors.

We must stand in prayer for these grieving families, asking God to protect His people from the schemes of the enemy and bring peace to Nigeria.

As the body of Christ, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advocate for those facing violent persecution for their faith.
