A great need for prayer.
Every two hours, a Nigerian Christian is killed for following Jesus.
That's nearly 13 people a day, 372 a month and almost 5,000 a year.
And the reality is that each of these numbers is a man, woman, father, mother, son or daughter.
Research for the 2022 World Watch List reveals that in Nigeria, more Christians were murdered for their faith than in any other country. Nigeria accounted for nearly 80% of Christian deaths worldwide.
Once again, the death toll makes Nigeria the world's most violent place for Christians. Believers live each hour under threat of attack, kidnapping or death from Islamic extremist groups—simply because they walk with Jesus.
