Many Christians are being kidnapped in Nigeria; the following is a story from one who had this happen: Namiji Mairiga is a 42-year-old Christian farmer and carpenter. In April of last year, Fulani militants abducted him. What followed was not just violence—it was deliberate destruction. After some captives escaped, his attackers turned their rage on him. They beat him mercilessly, then used their weapons to crush his legs. His right leg was shattered beyond recognition. To ensure he could never escape, they wrapped a heavy chain around it, grinding metal into the open wound. Then they left him in the bush to die. By the time he was eventually released, infection had taken hold. His leg turned gangrenous. The tissue began to rot. He could not walk, stand, or even move himself. Today, he depends entirely on his mother—over 90 years old—to care for him. No treatment. No intervention. No help. Until now. Because of supporters like you, we have stepped in. We are covering his medical care and working to get him the treatment he desperately needs. THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN This is the reality of the mission.
