The cause of the Christians in Nigeria is one of the most underreported massacres going on. Judd Saul was also the filmmaker behind Enemies Within The Church. Judd Saul founded Equipping The Persecuted to help assist Nigerian Christians under attack by Muslim terrorists. An Iowa resident, it so happened that Governor Ron DeSantis visited his church this past Sunday.
Saul is a longtime member of Cornerstone World Outreach. According to Truth Nigeria:
He vowed to promote religious freedom for all Christians, especially in Nigeria,” Judd told TruthNigeria.
The mainstream media ignores the persecution because it’s Christians that are being killed, DeSantis said to members of the congregation who participated in a one-hour question and answer session held in the church after the worship service.
DeSantis was asked this question by Judd Saul: “200 Christians in Nigeria were just killed over Christmas. Since Biden has taken office it has become a bigger breeding ground for terrorism across northern africa and going into central africa. What will you do as president to use our foreign influence and power to protect Christians and innocent people especially in places like Nigeria?”
DeSantis: “Yeah, I think there is less attention on that because they’re Christian. I don’t think it fits the narrative. We will stand for robust religious freedom across the country and across the world. We will definitely stand against the persecution of Christians. I think it’s something that you’re not going to get plaudits from the media for because it’s not what they necessarily want to see. But I think it’s something that flows from our values, so you can count on me to be a defender of that.”
DeSantis was introduced by Senior Pastor Cary Gordon. By referencing the genocidal killings of Christians that have marred Nigerian politics for more than 14 years, DeSantis has raised the profile of religious freedom advocacy, according to Saul, who said he hopes that other candidates will weigh in on US diplomatic options that would help save lives. “The restored declaration of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, is an obvious first step,” Judd said.
“Secretary Blinken simply erased Nigeria from the list of human rights bad actors before his first trip to Africa in 2021 but without explanation,” Judd said. But recent history shows that Nigeria deserves to be on that list, and the world community needs to help the government to enforce its own laws,” he added.
Influential Christians were able to get this information to a major presidential candidate, perhaps putting this issue on the radar of the eventual Republican nominee whoever it may be.
