Since 2009 at least 45,000 people have been killed in anti-Christian violence in Nigeria.
Some analysist place this figure even higher, at more than 60,000. Some figures suggest it might be as high as 90,000. Only the Lord knows.
Thousands of churches have been destroyed, and entire Christian communities displaced.
Believers in northern and Middle Belt Nigeria are vulnerable to Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State.
Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt also endure violence from extremists within the Muslim-majority Fulani people group. Fulani extremists often attack Christian areas, slaughtering the inhabitants while destroying homes and churches.
So far the Nigerian authorities have been unable to curb the activities of these Islamist forces.
Persecution of Christians by Islamists is often underreported. Western media portray the violence as simply a conflict between farmers and cattle herders. Faith in the Fire corrects this false narrative.
Most importantly, Faith in the Fire shows how Nigerian believers are continuing to hold fast to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. By God’s grace, their hope remains firm.
There are three things that you can do to make a difference.
