NIGERIA DANGER & PERSECUTION
“Every day by day, the Islamic Terrorists in Nigeria known as “BOKO-HARAM” are Persecuting and Killing the Christians in Nigeria and all over Africa, and they are also destroying and bombing all the Churches in our country Nigeria.

On 20th of December 2019, My Church was attacked and bombed by the Islamic terrorists and My Wife and Two Daughters and 64 Members of my Ministry were killed inside the Church during our Sunday service.
Over the past decade, more than 70,000 Christians have been killed by the Islamic Terrorists Groups in Nigeria. Only Almighty GOD can help and Save the Souls of the Christians in Nigeria from the constant killing by the Islamic terrorists in Africa.
The loss of my wife and two daughters in one day to the Islamic terrorists, have been one of the hardest things that I have ever walked through in my life. Their death really touched my soul so much, and it makes me to believe in this Word of God that says; ‘For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.’ (Philippians 1:21.)”
The man shown to the left is a minister in Nigeria who reached out to us when the killings of Christians by Boko Haram elevated in Nigeria. His wife and two beautiful little girls (shown beneath) were slaughtered by the terrorist group, whose agenda is to kill Christians. Yet even so, he goes on preaching the gospel and sharing God’s love in his home country, as the violence gets worse. Despite the many physical needs the people of Nigeria have, this man asked us for Bibles, simply so he could continue sharing God’s Word. So far we have sent him three containers filled with Bibles; one of those has yet to be sponsored. This is an immediate need, and one that we need your help with. Will you consider donating to help fund this container and future containers to share God’s Word with the world?
Pictures below and to the right show some of the violence happening in Nigeria with daily killings; cars, homes, and churches being burned; and more. We received other images that would be far too graphic to show here; images where children have been slaughtered. Please know this violence is so real, and we simply cannot ignore it.


THREE CONTAINERS SENT. WITH THESE, WE HAVE REACHED 90,000 PEOPLE IN NIGERIA.

They also need continued and urgent prayers for their protection, and that the killings would stop.

We have sent three containers filled with Bibles to Nigeria, which will arrive in December. Please pray with us that these containers arrive without interruption to those who need Bibles. We are also still in need of financial sponsorship for these containers.
