Islamists Increase Attacks on Christians

[220] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Burkinabe Christians.

According to Burkinabe church leaders from two denominations, attacks on Christians by Islamist insurgents are rapidly increasing. Leaders from one denomination say that from January 2024 until the beginning of 2025, 10 pastors were murdered, 220 displaced, 7 abducted, 179 churches closed, 22 churches burned or destroyed, and 177 Christians murdered. Nearly 31,000 of the denomination’s church members have been displaced. Another denomination reports that 797 pastors (70%) have been displaced, 7 killed, and 97 churches burned or destroyed with 946 churches closed and 115 Christians killed. Additionally, more than 100,000 of that denomination’s church members have been displaced. “These are current numbers,” said a front-line worker. “We need to increase prayer support for our Burkinabe brothers and sisters, for their protection, for provision, and for their persecutors to come to faith in Christ.”
