Abduction Is Only the Beginning

Sep 13, 2022

Empower LRI's partners to minister with love and compassion!

Kidnapped while driving to church ...

This is the kind of danger—yet not the “worst” of it—that Christians in Nigeria face day after day, week after week.

“Four nuns were abducted while traveling on a highway in southeast Nigeria,” reported International Christian Concern. “The sisters were on their way to Sunday mass when a group of unidentified gunmen stopped their vehicle and kidnapped them.”

Thankfully, the women were returned to their convent days later ... but it was a frightening, persecution-driven crime nonetheless.

And abduction is only the beginning of what believers endure in Nigeria and in other countries where following Christ comes with a terribly high risk.

Abandonment, harassment, arson, attacks, false imprisonment, torture, rape, murder ...

The list of ongoing threats to our persecuted brothers and sisters is long. But I know your compassion runs deep.

Please stand with Liberty Relief International to minister to Christians across Nigeria and around the world with the practical love of Jesus.

Your gift to Liberty Relief International will help our dedicated, on-the-ground partners provide relief:

  1. Emergency food, water, shelter and safety.
  2. Help for rebuilding homes, churches and communities destroyed in violent attacks.
  3. Counseling and emotional support for those who have experienced great trauma.
  4. Literacy and job training for refugees and others.
  5. Bibles and discipleship training materials for believers.
  6. Spiritual support in the face of extreme hardship.
  7. And more.

Nigeria’s Christians are not the only ones experiencing harsh persecution, as you know. It’s happening all over the world—Burkina Faso, Iran, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, China … and many other nations.

Please consider their plight—please respond on their behalf—reach out with the concern of Christ to our brothers and sisters. Your gift is important … and your generosity makes a wonderful difference in many lives!

Thank you.
