What’s the problem?
Out of every 10 Christians murdered for their faith across the world, nine are killed in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Christians in the region are being persecuted on a scale never seen before. Murder, torture and kidnapping are an everyday threat. Islamic extremists want to destroy the church and are using unthinkable violence.
What’s happening is unprecedented and it’s wrecking lives. The very survival of the Church is at risk – unless we act.
