It seems every week I’m seeing tragic news out of Africa about the violent persecution of Christians.

Though it happens in several nations around the African continent, Sub-Saharan regions are by far the hardest hit.

Open Doors reports:

“Political instability, war and extremism has created a perilous situation for Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa. Amid lawlessness, jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and Boko Haram have thrived. Weak governments fail to stop them. And militants attack Christian communities and churches with impunity.

>> “Most Christians murdered for their faith in 2023 were killed in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria accounted for nine out of 10 religiously-motivated murders.” <<

In addition: “Many more Christians have also been forced from their homes. Of 34.5 million displaced people across Sub-Saharan Africa, around 16.2 million are Christians.”

If you’ve followed Liberty Relief International — for any length of time — you know the above to be sadly true.

What’s happening to believers in these dangerous areas can be summed up in one word:

Genocide.

But when you stand with LRI, you see the vulnerable, meet their needs, and show them Christ-like compassion.

While unrelenting Islamic oppression in many nations treats Christians as sub-human, your generous support provides hope in the form of immediate and long-term relief where it’s needed most.

Christ-centered, local ministry partners are there serving on your behalf — feeding the hungry, encouraging the downtrodden, praying for an end to the violence and brutality.

And YOUR partnership makes it possible. Please give generously today to keep it happening in Jesus’ name.

And remember: Every dollar matters to our persecuted family.

Thank you for your generosity.

In His service,

Mat Staver
