Keith, if this is not allowed, please delete. This organization is doing a lot to help persecuted Christians in Nigeria through local churches. Disclaimer: I volunteer for them. https://christianresponse.org/news/violence-in-nigeria/
I'm only aware of one charity (other than yours) that purposely helps endangered churches overseas with their security needs: Concilium Inc. https://concilium.us Their staff is both specifically Christian and has relevant past training, similar to your own. I donate to Concilium annually, and recommend them to other donors.
Thank you Keith for posting this letter. It brings home the reality of what’s happening in Nigeria. Great info for them and us here in the USA. Praying for all my brothers and sisters in Nigeria and other persecuted countries now. Great info on the sensitive subject of Defense and well put. Blessings to all. ✝️
Keith, I would love to see a group of retired Special OPS or veterans, or police officers, for this matter anyone that would be willing to go there and defend against this evil that is happening to our brothers and sisters! Is it even possible? I know that all things are possible through Jesus our Lord because He says it. You know they are our brothers and sisters no different from the ones we protect at our churches. Just water separates us. I truly believe I would go with a group to help those over there in the name of Jesus Christ protecting and doing what is necessary to help those saints. We are told to protect those who can’t stand in our own. What say you or anyone?
Politics get in the way once again! These people were willing to do just what we’re talking about and the UN came in and couldn’t help out! Sad isn’t it?
I saw a video on a cable channel called "soldiers for hire." Sierra Leone had hired "Executive Outcomes," comprised of former South African military, to do just what you're saying, and they did it.
Lord we pray that their faith will not fail and asking you to send your mighty angels to protect and deliver our Bros, Sisters & families. Also Lord turn the hearts of the oppressors to you. Lord I pray that more of the situatiin gets out and revealed around the world like with our Bros & Sisters in N. Korea, China, Iran and many other countries where our familiy members are persecuted. Lord show us what to do.
These scriptures comes to mind for those of us who are not experiencing this type persecution but for us to be aware and have the heart and mindset as if it was us. Hebrews 13:3. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, those who are mistreated since you yourselves are in the body.
1 Peter 5:9. Resist him (satan), firm in your faith, knowing that the same knid of suffering are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.
Amen, praying for encouragement, discernment, and calling of heart for diligent/faithful men to move as God encourages and provides boldness to step up and fulfill those positions with boldness!
I agree. I spent some time in Nigeria, am trying to fund a clean water project for a small area "kingdom" inside Nigeria and I delivered munitions for their government many years ago. Am in discussions with a good person who wants to become President and integrate more with the US.
It was interesting to talk with their police who were afraid of doing anything expect act as a human traffic signal.
Out of a 100 officer unit, only 2 had guns but a lot of men in various para military uniforms had AKs.

They cleaned things up very quickly.. until.. the "international community" found that these were WHITE soldiers. Can't have that. So they were forced out and replaced by UN "peacekeepers", which were quickly overcome by the regrouping rebels. So much for that: https://search.brave.com/search?q=executive+outcomes+in+Sierra+Leone&source=android&summary=1&conversation=095447767c8d697520314842a4fd41432a12

So what do we do?
Right question. Prayer hasn't helped has it? It seems to be the equivalent of wishful thinking.
Alfred the great, aka the white horse king, did similarly. https://a.co/d/02zWWCo3
To their credit, the ACLJ has also been reporting on this Nigerian Christian genocide regularly, and doing what they can in their legal capacity.
