“Nothing Short of Genocide”: Pray for Christians in Nigeria

article January 16, 2023
In late 2021, I shared on my blog about increased Christian persecution in Nigeria. Almost a year and a half later, our brothers and sisters in Christ there continue to face daily dangers. Here is a letter sent last month by a dear Nigerian brother we’ve known for years.

“Please Continue to Pray”: An Update on Christian Persecution in Nigeria

article September 3, 2021
Two weeks ago I shared a firsthand account of the persecution of Nigerian Christians from my friend Samuel Kunhiyop. The situation in Nigeria keeps getting worse. Please pray. 

“Jesus Is Literally All They Have Left”: The Situation in Afghanistan, and Ways to Pray and Help

article August 27, 2021
"What can we do to help the believers? Literally the only thing they currently ask for is prayer. That’s not strange or overtly spiritual. If they had a thin layer of protection and justice, it’s now gone. Jesus is literally all they have left. The Christians are seeking ways to stay safe and to survive. We stand with them in their time of greatest need."

A First-Hand Account of Persecuted Believers in Nigeria: “Everybody Lives in Fear All the Time, Day or Night”

article August 18, 2021
Many of our Nigerian brothers and sisters in Christ are being severely persecuted and oppressed. Samuel, a brother I dearly love and trust,  recently sent a letter, sharing how he visited two camps for displaced persons in Southern Kaduna in Nigeria, where he was born and raised. He wrote, “What I saw really shocked me beyond what words can describe.”

God’s Word Is Precious to the Persecuted

article January 29, 2021
In this excerpt from my novel Safely Home, business executive Ben Fielding, who is staying with his friend and former college roommate Li Quan in China, makes a surprising discovery. May this story remind us how precious God’s Word is to believers in places where it is costly and difficult to have a Bible.

An Eternal Perspective on Persecution and Loss, and an Update on Gladys and Esther Staines

article November 6, 2019
Those who are familiar with my books know that I wrote my novel Safely Home to open readers’ eyes to the persecution that Christians in many places face. I still hear people mention the dedication of Safely Home to the Staines family. Their commitment to Christ and their eternal perspective concerning their loved ones was a great example, and it was a privilege to dedicate my book to this wonderful family.

The U.S. Sends Millions to Countries That Persecute Their Own Citizens—for Being Christian

article January 30, 2019
My friend Kerby Anderson, host of the Point of View radio talk show, is a veteran spokesman for causes honoring to Christ. I was very touched by what he wrote below and asked if we could share it. Let’s take it to heart and take appropriate action too. 

A Chinese Pastor’s Declaration of Faithful Disobedience

article December 31, 2018
The following letter was written by Pastor Wang Yi, who along with his wife and over 100 members of his church was arrested by Chinese authorities earlier this month. This is not just good for information on persecution in China—it also models a radical commitment to Christ that we, certainly I, can learn from.

Increased Persecution in China, and What China’s Digital Dictatorship Could Mean for Christians

article September 28, 2018
Recently a number of reports coming out of China indicate that persecution of Christians is increasing.

No Persecution, Including Shootings, Will Silence the Church

article November 8, 2017
Just as our fellow believers can’t be persuaded to abandon their faith because of persecution, such violence in our own churches won’t stop us from gathering and proclaiming and celebrating the Good News of Jesus.
