Matthew also tells stories from the field, including that of a woman kidnapped and enslaved by Boko Haram, one of six jihadist groups currently attacking Christians in northern Nigeria.

The young man was threatened by his father but still committed his life to the Lord. He was forced to flee his village. He has sacrificed his home, his family and his safety. Yet he told Matthew, \"Jesus is my Savior. I have no regrets.\" List…","meta_description":"More than 50 people were killed during an attack on a Christian area in the city of Jos on Palm Sunday in Nigeria .
