The Orthodox Christians of Nigeria - Official Trailer

For years, a man named Stephen Tema, and hundreds of others that he converted to Orthodox Christianity, waited for a Bishop to come to Nigeria and baptize the faithful. During this time, Stephen Tema was arrested, beaten, and rejected by nearly all of his friends and family for preaching Orthodox Christianity. Against all odds, he continued to pray for help from across the world, until one day his prayer was answered.

Watch the official trailer of an upcoming documentary about the Orthodox Christians of Nigeria.
