These are just a few of the attacks that believers in northern Nigeria have suffered so far in 2020. The first few weeks of the New Year have been devastating for Christians, who have been attacked repeatedly by Boko Haram and radicalized Fulani Islamic militants.

VOM workers in Nigeria are working to bring food and other supplies to those displaced by the attacks and to bring spiritual support to those who have lost loved ones.
