While the assaults by radical Muslims in Nigeria have faded from the news, the attacks on Christians have continued to escalate.
What would you do? Go to church knowing you could be attacked? Avoid sharing your faith? Or even deny your faith to save your earthly body?
These are very hard questions and Christians in Nigeria (predominantly the north) face this dilemma almost daily.
In recent years, Boko Haram has become a predominant Muslim terrorist group. And their mission is to eradicate Christianity—and anything Western—from Nigeria. While burning churches and beheading Christians is common, another tactic is often used, that of severing a limb, usually a leg.
In response to these attacks, The Voice of the Martyrs continues to enlarge its prosthetics clinic in northern Nigeria. With the help of technicians donating their time along with quality materials shipped from the U.S., we are able to assist our persecuted brothers and sisters with new prosthetics.
“We have been able to provide 60 persecuted believers with custom-fitted prosthetics in the last 12 months. We have identified 80 more Christians who need one.”
– Cole Richards, Vice President, International Ministries
Tragically the victims have even been children, like Mary. She will now learn to walk again thanks to VOM’s prosthetics clinic.
