Encouraging believers to know what their persecuted brothers and sisters are facing, so they can enter into fellowship with them and pray, and give to help persecuted Christians with their needs.
NIGERIA: FAITH UNDER FIRE
Nigerian believers are facing one of the worst crises for Christians in the world. In the northern and central regions, extremist attacks, kidnappings, and village raids are common, leaving families displaced, children traumatized, and entire communities grieving.
A Living Testimony from Yemen
For generations, followers of Jesus in Yemen have lived out their faith quietly and courageously—often at great personal cost. An Aroma of Life shares the powerful story of how God has preserved a faithful witness in Yemen from ancient times to today. Through historical insight and firsthand accounts, readers encounter a resilient Church that continues to shine Christ’s light despite persecution, war, and loss.
We invite you to take time to read these stories, have your faith strengthened by Yemeni believers, and gain a deeper understanding of what God is doing in Yemen today. As you read, may it help guide your prayers and deepen your heart for our brothers and sisters in this region.
