Protect and Uplift Persecuted Christians

A local pastor in Nigeria was kidnapped by armed men while serving his rural congregation, reports International Christian Concern.
When the terrorist group demanded a ransom for his life, his family, church, and neighbors sacrificed everything they could to secure his freedom — selling possessions and pooling what little they had.
But after the ransom was paid, the pastor was still killed.
What a heartbreaking reminder of the growing danger faced by believers in places where faith costs everything!
Yet even in grief, Christians continue to stand firm — clinging to Jesus, caring for the widows and children left in the wake of tragedy, and shining the light of Christ in the most spiritually dark places.

And may God bless you for your compassionate prayers and generosity.
In His service,
Mat Staver
