Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body” (Hebrews 13:3).

Thousands of Christians are being murdered in Nigeria, massacred by Islamic terrorist groups like Boko Haram. Just last month, videos emerged of Nigerian pastors standing beside mass graves which hold the remains of women and children, killed because they were followers of Christ. And this is escalating.

Christians in Nigeria have been facing intense persecution in the past few years, and the slaughter of Christians has escalated in the past few months. Although the mainstream media intentionally avoids reporting these events, we share some news from the past few weeks to highlight the dangerous and precarious situation of Christians who need urgent attention and constant prayer.
