Mission Statement
Shepherds Shield exists to provide emergency relief, advocacy, and tangible support to persecuted Christian communities in Africa and the Middle East, standing with those who face violence, displacement, and systematic oppression for their faith.
What We Do
Emergency Relief & Aid
We provide critical supplies—food, water, medical care, and shelter—to Christian families fleeing persecution or trapped in conflict zones.
Displacement Support
We assist internally displaced persons and refugees, helping families rebuild their lives after being forced from their homes due to religious violence.
Community Resilience
We work with local church leaders to strengthen vulnerable Christian communities, providing resources that help them survive and maintain their faith under pressure.
Documentation & Advocacy
We document cases of persecution to raise awareness internationally and advocate for policy changes that protect religious minorities.
About Us
Shepherds Shield is a faith-based humanitarian organization dedicated to serving Christians facing persecution across Africa and the Middle East. We believe that when one part of the Body of Christ suffers, we all suffer together—and we're called to respond with both prayer and action.
Our work focuses on providing immediate relief to communities under threat, supporting displaced families, and advocating for religious freedom in regions where Christians face daily dangers simply for practicing their faith.
Why This Matters
Christians in Nigeria face systematic attacks from extremist groups, with thousands killed annually and entire villages destroyed. In the Middle East, ancient Christian communities that have existed for 2,000 years are being systematically eradicated.
The international community often overlooks these atrocities. Shepherds Shield exists to ensure these brothers and sisters are not forgotten—and that they receive the support they need to survive and thrive.
