Every day, Christian families in Nigeria face violence, displacement, and the destruction of their churches. While many individual attacks receive limited international coverage, Judd Saul believes the broader story remains largely untold.

After years of repeated field visits, humanitarian work, and documentary filmmaking, Judd argues that the violence is not simply a series of isolated incidents. He believes it reflects a coordinated effort to seize Christian land, eliminate Christian communities, and fundamentally reshape Nigeria’s religious and political landscape.

Drawing from his firsthand experience, Judd contends that the radical Islamification of Nigeria is a coordinated effort to seize Christian land—a perspective shaped by years of documenting patterns of attacks and working directly with survivors.

Whether audiences ultimately agree or disagree with his conclusions, Judd offers rare, on-the-ground insight into one of the world’s most significant religious freedom crises.

For the global Church, this is more than an international news story, it’s a call to pray, bear witness, advocate for persecuted believers, and respond with compassion.

Judd Saul is a documentary filmmaker, humanitarian, and founder of Equipping the Persecuted, an organization serving Christians living under severe persecution.

Judd Saul believes the world is overlooking the true scale and nature of Nigeria’s religious freedom crisis. Through years of humanitarian service, documentary work, and firsthand investigation, he offers a perspective shaped not by headlines but by relationships with persecuted believers. His interviews challenge audiences to understand the crisis more deeply, hear the voices of those suffering for their faith, and consider both spiritual and practical responses—from prayer and humanitarian support to international advocacy and policy action.
