Did you know that 280 Christians were murdered in the last 2 months in Nigeria? And 6,000 Christians have been murdered there in the last two years. On this episode we’re exposing and sharing the truth about what’s happening in Christian communities across Nigeria’s Middle Belt. We must pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ there, share the news about the religious cleansing they’re enduring, and contact our government officials to take some kind of action.
