Increasing government control in Nicaragua is impacting the faithful who hope to share God’s Word. Visitors are now met with bans on Bibles and faith literature, signaling a hostile climate for Christian freedom.
Christian bus operators confirm these restrictions, with warnings posted at border terminals. This hostile stance toward faith-based materials highlights the urgent need for believers around the world to pray and advocate for their brothers and sisters in Nicaragua.
“The Nicaraguan government’s efforts to restrict the entry of Bibles, other books, newspapers and magazines into the country are highly concerning given the current context of repression.”
Now, more than ever, those who value liberty, faith, and the family must stand together, championing the cause of religious freedom everywhere it is threatened.
