Two U.S. government committees just issued a significant report on a West African country where Christians are suffering greatly — and where tens of thousands have been slaughtered because of their faith in Christ.

President Trump recently designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), and now the House Appropriations Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee have delivered a joint report on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria to the White House.

A House Appropriations press release shares more:

“Nigeria has become the most dangerous place in the world to practice the Christian faith, as jihadist networks exploit weak enforcement and limited accountability to carry out sustained and coordinated violence against civilians. Committee members witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences for innocent communities, regional stability, and U.S. national security interests. The report makes clear that failure to confront these threats only emboldens terrorist actors and accelerates further violence — underscoring that protecting religious freedom and countering extremism require clear red lines, real accountability, and decisive leadership.”

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK) upheld the freedom of worship as “a cornerstone of America.

“From U.S. beginnings, our shores drew those seeking to pray without fear, and that promise must endure. So, though oceans stand between us, the call to protect faith and humanity does not fade with distance.”

I am grateful for decisive action by the U.S. government to protect Christians from genocide overseas.

Please give generously to minister to the needs of our brothers and sisters in Nigeria and other dangerous places.

And thank you in advance for your generous gift of compassion for Christians living a brutal reality.
