American Eyewitness Exposes Genocide Against Christians in Nigeria

The Call to Action

• 💡 Alex Barbier, founder of Building Zion, felt called by his Christian faith to help the oppressed and suffering in Nigeria.
• 🎯 He highlights that the church is often not fulfilling its role in aiding those in need, particularly in Nigeria where Christians face literal mass genocide.
• ⚡ The ministry's core mission is to be the "hands and feet" and "light" in places where people are forsaken, afflicted, and suffering.

Atrocities in Nigeria

• 💔 Villages are being burned to the ground, and Christians are being beheaded, dismembered, and shot daily.
• 💥 In Yawwa village, an attack by roughly 400 militants resulted in over 200 Christians being massacred, with homes, shops, and the entire market burned.
• 🦴 Barbier recounts witnessing the aftermath, including finding bones in the rubble, emphasizing the direct violence against Christians.

Rebuilding and Hope

• 🏠 Building Zion's initiative focuses on rebuilding destroyed homes and communities, providing a beacon of hope for displaced people.
• 🤝 The goal is to enable victims to return to their homes and begin healing, offering a tangible solution beyond temporary aid.
• 🛠️ The organization plans to rebuild approximately 100 homes and shops in affected areas.

Addressing Skepticism

• ⚠️ Barbier refutes those who minimize the genocide, sharing his firsthand experience of unloading bodies from a truck shortly after an attack.
• 🗣️ He stresses that while some extremist groups may target Muslims, the primary perpetrators like the Fulanis are directly targeting and killing Christians across Nigeria.
• 🌍 He urges the American church to shift focus from internal growth to external impact, directing resources and people to where Christ would be.

How to Help

• 🙏 Barbier advises the American church to pray, become aware, and consider sacrificing personal comfort for eternal impact.
• 💰 He encourages financial support and direct involvement, emphasizing that fear should not prevent action.
