He's Healing from
the Unthinkable

For persecuted Christians, the wounds of violence often remain long after the immediate crisis has passed. In Nigeria, ICC is helping children and families process grief, rebuild emotional resilience, and find hope through faith-based trauma care.

Through guided counseling, prayer, creative activities, and ongoing support, survivors are discovering that healing is possible. As one teen shared, “We thought this pain was something we had to carry alone. Now we can talk about it, and God is still with us.”
