The Church is Burning

The church in Sub-Saharan Africa is in crisis. Will you stop the violence and start the healing?

Jemal’s* home and business took decades to build. 

In just one day, it was reduced to ash. 

Islamic militants set fire to 215 Christian homes when they attacked Jemal’s town, in Ethiopia. It was a calculated attempt to erase Christianity. And it’s not a one-off. 

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, the church is burning. Our brothers and sisters are suffering unprecedented violence. More than 16 million believers, like Jemal, have been driven from their homes. 

This is a crisis we cannot ignore. 

Stop the violence. Start the healing. Please give today.

  • Every $48 could provide trauma care to a Christian who has faced extreme persecution.
