Thank you to one of our volunteers Joy from Maine, who presented to the entire congregation at Port Chester Salvation Army on April 6th.  “The spirit was so powerful last night! The people were so interested to learn about the suffering of their Brothers and Sisters in Christ and that they could so something more than pray.” Thank you Joy for being a voice for your persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ!

History of Violence

The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) is a terrorist organization that emerged in 2016 after splitting from Boko Haram. It is affiliated with ISIS and operates primarily in Nigeria and the surrounding region, targeting both civilians and military forces.

ISWAP has been responsible for numerous attacks, including assaults on Christian communities, kidnappings, and executions, as part of its broader jihadist agenda.

Persecution

These violent actions contribute to ongoing instability in northern Nigeria, where religious and ethnic tensions remain high.

The international community, including the United Nations and several governments, has condemned ISWAP’s attacks, recognizing them as acts of terrorism.
