Women like Esther pay a high price for following Jesus.

Esther lives in Nigeria, where Christians face the relentless threat of violent persecution.

She was 17 when the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram attacked her village. The militants abducted her, took her far away from home and did everything they could to make her and the other Christian girls they captured renounce their faith.

• Determined not to give in, Esther was raped continually.

• She endured intense abuse for many months.

• In captivity, she conceived and had a daughter.

Her rescue and return to her family a year later should have been a joyous occasion …

But instead, she realized she would be forced to face another kind of persecution … from her own community. “They called my baby ‘Boko,’” Esther says.

And she’s not alone in her plight …

THOUSANDS of Nigerians have been killed because of their Christian faith over the last several years. Until recently, the government had denied Christians were targeted.

Our brothers and sisters there and elsewhere need your heartfelt prayers … and your financial support.

Please partner with Liberty Relief International today to help minister to their physical, emotional and spiritual needs!

Your tax-deductible gift of 50, 100, 500 dollars or more will enable us to send urgently needed aid to our partners in the field who daily work with families and communities in which faith in Christ puts them at constant risk from violence, torture, imprisonment, kidnapping, rape or even death.

Your generosity will help provide for immediate humanitarian needs as well, like emergency food and water … safe houses and trauma counseling … literacy and job training … restoration assistance to rebuild churches and homes … Bibles, Bible study materials and discipleship training for new believers … and more.

And please, remember to pray for persecuted Christians in Nigeria and in other highly dangerous countries. Pray that their needs would be met and that they would hold fast to their faith in trying times.

Thank you for your compassionate response!
