No believer in Nigeria should stand alone.
When an attack comes, we are on the ground within 24 hours with medical care, food and shelter. Then we help the village prepare for the next one.

Reached within a day
She should not have lived.
Manny was eight months old when the attack came. She was found in the aftermath, alive, in a village that no longer existed.
Our team reached her within a day. She is being fed, treated, and held. The work now is the rest of her life, and the thousands of children behind her.

Sustain a school
A school stays open, so students have stability and a future, even in hard seasons.

Defend a village
Villages get early-warning systems and preparedness training before violence arrives.
One country, since 2011
In 2011, Judd Saul went on a mission trip to Nigeria with his grandfather, Duane Wessels. He saw that attacks on Christians were outpacing the groups responding to them, and he has gone back three to four times a year ever since.
Local Nigerian leaders and missionaries shaped the ministry into what it is now: locally managed, quick to respond, and focused on prevention as much as relief. Alongside the aid, our TruthNigeria news desk reports on what Christians in Nigeria are facing right now.
