Read Pastor Zachariah’s powerful witness, just one grieving loved one amongst 4,118 in Nigeria in 2024. How can it be anything but the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit! :

And the global map link of the worst offenders globally is attached below. I don’t know how Nigeria can be ranked 7th worst, yet have suffered over 90% of the martyrd deaths in 2024. First and foremost, we need to pray. Many may say “Why pray?” But our small prayer group believes the Lord our God answers all prayer. There are many verses that proclaim this, so again: Do we believe what we say we believe is really true? Unfathomable? Of course, it is the Lord on the receiving end.
Here is the global watch list map from Open Doors ministry:

FYI: Nigerian christians make up 45% of the population, Muslims 55%. If the deaths were all Muslims, it would still be crying out for prayer and global response. Where is the U.N.? The U.S. needs to exit the U.N.! Remember the masssacre in Rwanda?: In just 100 days in 1994, 800,000 Tutsi’s were slaughtered as the U.N. stood by doing absolutely nothing!
Always connected through prayer and by His grace!
