09/18/2022 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – The rich faith of the persecuted never stops amazing me. Story after story, I am left in awe of their enduring faith and strength in the Lord.

Today, I want to tell you the story of Safina. Homeless at 13 years old because of her conversion to Christianity, she found refuge with a local pastor. But something miraculous happened when that pastor took her in.

What a blessing it is to serve and be disciplined by the persecuted.

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.
