Nigeria Emergency Relief

UPDATE: We are continuing to fundraise for the ongoing crisis in Nigeria but want to start with a huge thank you to those who have already contributed. In Round one, with generous donations from our partners, we raised $25,000 for Christians impacted by the Christmas Eve massacre in Nigeria. If you need context please read Julie Roys account here: https://t.co/E4CHUDOx5O

We used the donations to directly help the victims. We delivered 600 care packages to the wounded and IDPs. We also helped a group of trauma care specialists to visit the region and work toward emotional care efforts. Finally, we adopted Langhai village, where a pastor was killed inside his church! We restored the burned church, the parsonage, and reroofed ten village houses which were destroyed. Thank you!

***NIGERIA PERSECUTION RELIEF ROUND TWO:***

Please help us rebuild Mbong village. In March I was approached by the elders of Mbong for help. The story is tragic. Not only was the church in the village destroyed but the pastor's entire family (five daughters and wife) were killed. Eleven people were killed in Mbong and their houses and food stores were destroyed. My heart was deeply moved after visiting and seeing the wreckage first hand. They pleaded with us to help in any way that we could. The greatest need is rebuilding so that they can return to their homes and begin to put their lives back together, now that there is security posted in the village.

In round two we need to raise $15,000 to rebuild this village in a similar way to what we have done in Langhai in March. Will you help us rebuild this village that was destroyed in the Christmas Eve Massacre?
