Life is fragile and dangerous for Christians living in the northern and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria. They face violence that often leads to death, the destruction of their homes, villages, and places of worship. Ultimately, they are forced to flee from the danger, which creates mass displacement for tens of thousands.
One persecution group warns that this growing crisis now involves more than three million Christians who are being persecuted because of their faith. Recent studies show the atrocities committed in Nigeria account for nearly 70 percent of all Christians killed globally.
