Christian Genocide in Nigeria

October 20, 2025

I’ve been watching Nigeria for years now and have posted about this problem more than once before. Recently, many small news sources complained that this horrific situation was receiving no mainstream news media coverage. It is now hitting the mainstream and many of you who are reading this may know about the persecution of Christians there. A few years ago, in one year, over 4,000 Christians were killed and, as far as we know, no other country came close to these numbers. This year is not over yet and I’m hearing that up to 7,500 Christians have been killed there this year. A Nigerian leader has said that 7,500 is way too high and that the number is more likely to be in the hundreds. With Nigeria’s past record, I think the number is much more likely to be in the thousands. People at the highest level of our government know of this situation and are concerned. It is good to see men in our government discussing this topic.
My goal here is to ask for prayers for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria. Please pray that God would give the Nigerian people strength through the persecution they are experiencing.
