Around the world, 16 Christians are killed each day, on average.

 

That’s nearly 500 Christians every month.

 

Men, women, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Just because they follow Jesus.

 

What staggering and sobering statistics.

 

Our research for the 2022 Open Doors’ 2022 World Watch List—the most in-depth investigative report focusing on global Christian persecution available—reveals that from October 2020 to September 2021, the number of Christians abducted, arrested and killed increased sharply.

 

This year, the total number of martyrs increased from 4,761 (2021 World Watch List (WWL)) to 5,898 (WWL 2022). Keep in mind this number is likely to be much lower than actual reality because, especially in closed countries like North Korea and Afghanistan, or conflict-ridden places like Somalia and Nigeria, killings are often done in secret and/or go unreported. No one in a North Korean prison camp or radical military leader in Nigeria is reporting the murder of a Christian.
