Modern Martyrs

Post by MaxPC »

A friend has asked me to help him compile a pan-global, pan-denominational list of Christian martyrs killed since 1995. I wonder if you would be willing to help with this list since I do not have access to Anabaptist martyrs' lists. No politics, no debates please; just lists of those martyred are needed.

Thus far I have found the following:

2023 Nigeria: priest burned alive in his home

2022 - 39 priests kidnapped and martyred in Nigeria; since 2009 there have been more than 32,000 Christians martyred in Nigeria

2015 - 21 Egyptian Coptic Martyrs in Libya (one from Ghana) beheaded when they refused to renounce Jesus. They died with Jesus’ name on their lips.

1996 - 7 Trappist Monks at Tibhirine, Algeria kidnapped and killed.

Any others for the list? I only have the above and my friend is simply wanting numbers of Christians of any denomination or fellowship, no names.

Often those killed are not biblical born from above obedient saints ....

Example Coptic Christians killed by ISIS had a different Jesus and a different gospel.

Roman Catholics and other false demonizations are killed for a false faith that can't save them ....

How terribly sad .. ..

All truth matters..

John 16:13 KJVS
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

I have added them to the list. It seems there are quite a few in the Middle East. What of other parts of the world? Any all counts since 1995 will be appreciated.
