28 Christians Massacred in Nigeria as Armed Militants Target Village

Islamic militants killed 28 Christians, including a pastor, in a coordinated overnight attack on the village of Kawel in Nigeria's Plateau State on June 22, cutting telecommunications and targeting church leaders by name. Nigeria now leads the world in Christians killed for their faith, representing a dramatic escalation in the global persecution of believers that Scripture forewarns will intensify in the last days. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:9, 'You will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me' — a pattern accelerating with striking urgency across the nations.
