The Executive Director of U.S-based non-profit organisations Truth Nigeria and Equipping The Persecuted (ETP) has expressed delight at successfully organising ETP’s recent fifth and largest conference in Abuja this year, which “brought in 1000 pastors.”
Judd Saul that he was back “back from Nigeria” where a 3-day conference held for “frontline pastors from across the Middle Belt of Nigeria.”
He detailed that the conference “was a wonderful success,” stressing that “Our pastors’ network continues to grow and new connections are made to expand our reach to help those who are afflicted by persecution and genocide.”

According to the American missionary activist, “I also had the opportunity to meet with my good friend Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo and deliver funds to him to bless his ministry and help with his healthcare.
“I met up with our TruthNigeria Nigeria team and encouraged them to continue their amazing work.
“I also met with a group from Benue State Nigeria and deployed funds to help them burry over 20 people that were massacred. (Funeral is tomorrow)

At the gathering where transportation, food and lodging were provided, Saul underlined that “My name is known in Nigeria and I try to not let the whole world know my whereabouts while I am there.”
The killing is not stopping, and the needs are increasing. But I can assure you that the convener of Truth Nigeria and EquippingThePersecuted.org, dedicated to reporting atrocities against Christians in Nigeria’s middle belt region, underlined that the organisations are “making a major impact and saving lives every week, while stressing, “Please stay the course. Help us continue our mission.”
The advocate for ending Christian genocide in Nigeria emphasised that “We need your prayers and support.”
The event focused on supporting Christian leaders operating in areas affected by religious persecution and violence.

In addition to the conference, Judd Saul and ETP have recently completed several major operations in Nigeria, which include IDP camp outreach conducted simultaneously in Makurdi (Benue State), Barkin Ladi (Plateau State), and Nasarawa State.
Additionally, he provided humanitarian medical aid, including establishing a new medical clinic that was opened during the mission, which provided over 200 free surgeries to victims of violence and cared for over 4,000 displaced persons, who received food and medical treatment.
Saul continues to advocate internationally, recently appearing in interviews with Lara Logan and at the National Press Club to highlight what he describes as an unfolding genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
