Our Impact

Stand with us against trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Why is our organization needed?

We address the effects of persecution on Christians in Nigeria and the mental health effects of persecution, such as trauma, depression, and anxiety.

The 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 of 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, 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.

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.
