16.2 million displaced Christians

Stop the violence. Start the healing

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.

  • Restoration:

    Bring healing and restoration to all affected communities
