We serve Christians around the world whose brave faith in Jesus means they are beaten, threatened, imprisoned, tortured, falsely accused, disowned and hated.
Millions of Christians have been driven from their homes by violence and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa. Nobody is talking about it.
We feel ignored, forgotten. Like we are in the dark," says Pastor Barnabas from Nigeria, who lives in a displacement camp after narrowly surviving a violent attack.
Speak up by signing the petition.
The African church is calling upon the global community to ensure that Christians and other vulnerable individuals in sub-Saharan Africa are treated with dignity and respect through:
- Protection:
Providing robust protection from violent militant attacks
- Justice:
Ensuring justice through fair prosecutions of the attackers
- Restoration:
Bring healing and restoration to all affected communities
The petition is intended to be presented to the African Union, United Nations, EU and local governments around the world in 2026. Thank you for adding your voice.
"I will not lose my confidence in God. I will always encourage the Christians here."
Pastor Barnabas, living in a displacement camp in northern Nigeria
