This past summer, Mark Reiswig, Northwest Christian's 8th grade Bible teacher, travelled with Voice of the Martyrs to Nigeria. Over the last few years, the encroaching influence of Islam in northern Nigeria has produced a hotbed of persecution -- and, tragically, martyrdom -- for the minority Christian population.
