About this sermon
Religious persecution in Nigeria is escalating, with thousands of Christians, including Catholics, facing kidnappings and mass killings. Watchdog groups accuse the Nigerian government of inaction, prompting U.S. lawmakers to pressure the Trump administration for intervention. Many are urging Nigeria to be re-designated as a "Country of Particular Concern" to enable stronger action. Meanwhile, Catholic bishops are calling for advocacy and prayer as pressure mounts on the U.S. to address the ongoing persecution.
