The Night of Terror
In the heart of Nigeria's Plateau State, where violence against Christians has become tragically common, Nenche Steven emerged as a beacon of survival and testimony. On April 13, 2025, his family home was attacked by Fulani militants. The night was shattered by violence as the militants targeted his family for their faith. His father was killed, and his mother suffered brutal injuries. Remarkably, Nenche survived the ordeal.
Survivors like Nenche recount the terror of these attacks with vivid clarity. As Esther Emmanuel shared, 'Immediately they came in, they pointed a gun at me and told me to keep quiet or they would kill me.' Such words echo the fear and peril faced by countless Christians in the region.
God's Protection During Attack
For Nenche, survival was not just a matter of chance. In the midst of chaos, he sensed a profound sense of God's presence. Despite the trauma, his faith remained unshaken. This divine intervention not only preserved his life but also strengthened his resolve. 'That her five children that she left below were crying and in her presence, they were being slaughtered by the terrorists,' Msushima Aquin recounted, highlighting the brutal reality and the need for divine comfort.
Finding Strength Through Faith
The aftermath of the attack left Nenche grappling with the loss of his family and the destruction of his home. Yet, instead of succumbing to despair, he found solace in prayer and the support of his community. His faith, a cornerstone of his life, became a source of resilience and hope.
Testimony of God's Faithfulness
Through his testimony, Nenche hopes to shed light on the plight of Christians in Nigeria and inspire global action. He calls for international awareness and intervention to bring justice and peace to his homeland. Above all, Nenche gives glory to Jesus for his survival, a testament to the unwavering power of faith amidst adversity.
