In Nigeria—one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian—our brothers and sisters are being persecuted, hunted, and killed for their faith in Jesus. Churches are being burned. Homes destroyed. Christians kidnapped. Families torn apart. Some are fleeing. Some are hiding. And many are dying. Nigeria has become the global epicenter of violence against Christians. Open Doors reports that in 2024, Nigeria was the deadliest country in the world for Christians, with over 3,100 killed and an additional 2,830 kidnapped due to their faith. Radical groups like Boko Haram, Fulani militants, and others are fueling a relentless wave of violence and religious persecution. In certain parts of Nigeria, Christians have become like strangers. This is similar to the people Peter is writing to, who were fleeing persecution throughout the Roman Empire. Even in our time, the world is hostile to the Christian faith.
