Nigeria Players Wear Christian Wristbands at AFCON
Nigerian Christians have been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately, thanks to the growing tragedy of persecution against them.
At the AFCON football tournament, their national team recorded a 2-0 win over Algeria in the Quarter Finals.
Two of their players, Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams, wore wristbands with Crosses on them.
The move has earned praise from many online, who see it as a move of solidarity with the Christians in Nigeria.
Bible Sales SOAR in England and Wales
There have been numerous studies over the last few years that claim that a ‘quiet revival’ of Christianity is taking place in England and Wales.
This mostly relates to surveys and anecdotes of young people attending church in higher numbers, specifically in London and other metropolitan areas.
Now, new statistics point to a very clear and tangible proof that something interesting is happening.
A study by Christian publisher SPCK Group, using Nielsen Bookscan, showed Bible sales up 11% in 2025.
This follows a continuous trend since 2019, with Bible sales rising 134% since then.
What is to explain this?
Lockdown may have played a part, a reaction to woke and relativist culture also but perhaps maybe, it is simply the grace of God at work.
Long may it continue.
