Protect Persecuted Christians in Nigeria and Beyond

Families living in Nigeria send their children to school not knowing if they will return safe at the end of the day. So, what can be done about it, and how can you help?

The blog “Freedom of Religion or Belief in Full” says:

“On 15 May 2026 armed men attacked three schools in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State. Forty-six pupils and teachers were taken. On the same day — the same day — forty-two children were abducted from Mussa Primary and Junior Secondary School in Askira-Uba, Borno State. A mathematics teacher, Michael Oyedokun, was killed. His students watched. Three weeks have passed. Most of those children are still missing.

“Nigeria does not have a kidnapping problem. Nigeria has a protection accountability problem. The kidnapping is the outcome. The accountability failure is the system.”

Hear, hear.

While Nigeria’s government continues to look the other way, Christian children, schools, families, and communities suffer deeply and needlessly.

Liberty Relief International exists to uplift the persecuted church, meet the needs of victims and survivors of violence, and provide hope to the weary in Jesus’ name.

In concert with our Christ-centered, frontline partners, LRI extends God’s compassion, providing emergency food, water, clothes, medical supplies, trauma counseling, safe shelter, Bibles, and more.

When you give to LRI, you meet critically urgent needs wherever Christians are under threat.

Stand with fellow believers around the world with a gift of hope — your generous tax-deductible donation — today.

Thank you!

In His service,

Mat Staver
