A young college student, Deborah Samuel, was dragged out of class, stoned to death, and her body set on fire for confessing Jesus in an online message board. Her murderers were only charged with “disturbing the peace.” Later, four gunmen opened fire and detonated explosives in a church on Pentecost Sunday, killing over 50 people.
These are not isolated incidents. They are a pattern of extreme persecution that Christians now face in Nigeria—the most dangerous place on earth to be a Christian.
Last year alone, 4,650 Christians were martyred in Nigeria, and thousands more were kidnapped.
Last year alone, 4,650 Christians were martyred in Nigeria, and thousands more were kidnapped. Torture is common among those who are kidnapped, and women and children are not excluded from this fate. Churches and Christian schools have also been targets of arson, leaving a trail of burned buildings where Christians once gathered.
Deborah Samuel, student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, was beaten to death and burned by fellow students over allegations of blasphemy.
There are now more documented cases of Christian martyrdom in Nigeria than every other country combined. Now is the time to take action. We must stand up for our brothers and sisters who face torture, and even death for their faith in Christ.
Last year, our government removed Nigeria from the Countries of Particular Concern “CPC” watch list. This means that our government no longer identifies the persecution happening in Nigeria as a problem. They have turned a blind eye to the killing of Christians in Nigeria. This has only served to embolden the attackers and remove pressure from the Nigerian government to protect its Christian citizens.
You can make a difference. Sign the petition today asking for President Joe Biden to add Nigeria back to the CPC list. Together, we can send a clear message that killing Christians is not acceptable. There are people working hard in Washington D.C. to pressure President Biden to place Nigeria back on the watch list, but to-date, it has not been enough. Outside pressure will help. But this will only work if we can get the word out and take action.
Together, we can send a clear message that killing Christians is not acceptable.

Please share the petition with as many people as you can. Post on social media, forward this email, and share with friends, family, and even your entire church. The more signers, the more pressure there will be for our government to take action.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. —Romans 8:35,37
