Persecuted but Not Forgotten: A Global Update on the Suffering Church
In this sobering and heartfelt episode, Sandra and Reverend Ben Cooper come together to discuss the growing persecution of Christians around the globe. Their focus centers particularly on recent tragic events in Nigeria, where believers have been martyred by terrorists—a painful but necessary conversation that reveals both the brutal reality and the unwavering faith of the persecuted church.
Drawing from updates and reports by trusted global ministries including Open Doors, Release International, and TWR (Trans World Radio), this episode provides both personal reflection and critical insight into the state of Christian persecution in Nigeria, India, and other high-risk areas around the world.
The conversation begins with a detailed look into northern Nigeria, where extremist violence and terrorist activity have disproportionately targeted Christian communities. Sandra and Ben explore the contrast between Northern and Southern Nigeria, providing context for the religious and political dynamics that contribute to ongoing violence. While the south remains relatively safer and more culturally Christian, the north is deeply affected by Islamic extremism, leading to systemic attacks on churches, pastors, and families.
The episode also highlights the resilience and courage of believers who continue to follow Christ under constant threat. With the help of global watchdogs and ministry partners like Open Doors and Release, Sandra and Ben bring updates on imprisoned pastors, underground church movements, and the global call to prayer for our brothers and sisters in chains.
“We can’t forget the suffering church. Their pain is our pain. Their faith is our challenge.”
In addition to Africa, the conversation touches on rising persecution in India, where Christians face mob violence, forced conversions, and increasing hostility from nationalistic agendas. The situation is growing dire—and the church must stay informed, prayerful, and active in support.
This episode isn't just about headlines—it’s about heartlines. Sandra and Ben reflect on the spiritual lessons we can learn from persecuted believers:
