Secrecy is the key to survival for Somali Christians
Since 2023, Somalia has consistently ranked second in the World Watch List, making it the country in Africa that faces the highest levels of religious persecution
Serving and strengthening persecuted Christians in Sub Saharan Africa through raising awareness, prayer and advocacy.
90%
Out of every 10 Christians murdered for their faith across the world, nine are killed in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Yet, almost no one is talking about it.
Murder, torture and kidnapping are an everyday threat. Extremists want to destroy the church and are using unthinkable violence. The very survival of the church is at risk – unless we act.

Pray for Nigeria
- The median age in Nigeria is 17. Young people often feel marginalized. Pray for efforts by the government and Church to bring hope. Pray for thorough discipleship and sound view on economics coupled with practical help to uplift and create a hopeful future.
- About 18.5 million children, the majority girls, have no access to education in Nigeria (UN, 2022), mostly because of the jihadist attacks on schools. Pray for more physical and emotional care to children, that they will receive the education they need.
- Groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP often act with impunity against Christians (and Muslims who do not support their ideology). Pray that the Holy Spirit will bring many to salvation.
