    The Crisis Facing Christians in Benue & Jos

    For years, Christian communities in Nigeria's Middle Belt — particularly in Benue State and the city of Jos — have endured devastating attacks. Entire villages have been destroyed, churches burned, and thousands of families displaced from their ancestral homes.

    The scale of suffering is staggering. According to humanitarian reports, tens of thousands of Christians have been killed in the past decade, and hundreds of thousands more have been displaced. These are not distant statistics — they are mothers, fathers, children, and pastors whose lives have been shattered.

    As Americans, we carry a legacy of standing up for the persecuted. From the founding of our nation on principles of religious liberty to our history of defending the vulnerable around the world, courage and generosity are in our DNA. Now is the time to live out those values.
