In the Congo (DRC), Islamic jihadists are carrying out a brutal campaign of terror against Christians. Just days ago, dozens were hunted down and slaughtered – including 9 Christians who were beheaded, others executed in groups, and victims dragged from their homes.
More than 200 Christians have now been massacred since July.
And in Nigeria, 30 believers were slaughtered over several hours as they prepared for church services. Then Pastor Hills Emmanuel was abducted.
His wife was told she would never see her husband alive again. “And true to their words, they killed him,” she said. Pastor Emmanuel was a father of five.
Islamic terrorists slaughtered 299 Nigerian Christians in July alone.
Desperate for relief from the violence, Nigerians announced a period of mourning. The violence hasn’t ended.
In JUST days, we are delivering an oral intervention on Nigeria’s persecution to the U.N. Human Rights Council – where, standing before the world, we will refuse to allow their deaths and these human rights abuses to be forgotten.
