HELLO & WELCOME TO Healing Africa Ministries

Healing Africa Ministries addresses the effects of persecution on Christians in Nigeria through Gospel-centered Biblical Counseling and Soul Care trainings. The effects of persecution include mental health problems such as trauma, depression and anxiety.

We hope that integrating a Gospel-centered approach in our teachings helps our trainees bring many to Christ through their counseling – including those who persecute them.

Causes of the Situation

  • Desire for Islamic domination in Nigeria has led to intense persecution of Christian believers and targeted pastors...
  • Plateau State in Nigeria represents the last Christian stronghold from Islam-dominated northern Nigeria.
  • 4000 Christians were killed in Nigeria in 2024 alone, 12,793 since 2019, with 8000 believers abducted over 3 years.*
  • As a result, Christians in N. Nigeria are suffering from trauma, and anxiety and depression.
  • Churches are not equipped to address the trauma-related mental health effects of the persecution.
  • Pastors are overwhelmed and ill-equipped for the number of serious cases that need trauma-informed Biblical Counseling.
  • Global Christian Relief*

Who We Support

  • Jos has been labeled as a “matchbox” – tensions are high between Christian and Muslim communities and have led to intermittent fighting and killing over the years...
  • Pastors and church leaders and their spouses in Plateau state because leading church denominations such as ECWA and COCIN are located in the capital Jos. Over a thousand have expressed interest in receiving training in 2024.
  • Mature Christian church members who have an interest in giving care to congregants and others who have suffered trauma.
  • Women, some of whom were widowed as a result of the persecution, and who need physical, emotional and spiritual care.
  • Children and teachers of traumatized children
