This is a crucial time to stand with religious andethnic minorities, especially those in northernand central Nigeria who are living through one ofthe worst humanitarian crises – and ongoing actsof violent persecution – in the world today.
A few statistics …
• 14.8 million in northeastern Nigeria face discrimination and violence from Boko Haram andFulani militancy. Boko Haram are now considered the most lethal terrorist organization in the world; Fulani militantsrank fourth.
• officially, there are 2.2 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the region, but UN officials say it’s more likely 5-7 million – there aremore IDPs in Nigeria than in any other country inthe world other than Syria.
• 13,000 churches closed or destroyed, 10,000 boyshave been forced to fight as Boko Haram child soldiers, and 2,000 women and girls have been abducted
• 1,500 schools closed – 950,000 children denied an education
• tens of thousands are starving to death in whatthe UN describes as the “world’s most neglected humanitarian crisis.”
The 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative (21CWI)has launched Build Freedom, a project highlighting the situation in Nigeria. By building a shelter similar to those used by Nigerians who have fled Boko Haram, Build Freedom provides a meaningful opportunity for
churches, university groups and individuals to better understand and address this ongoing crisis. This uniquely designed shelter will create aninteractive simulation that will welcome participants to learn, pray, and practically standwith those who are suffering. This immersive experience is a practical and powerful platform tolearn what can be done to support those who havebeen forced to flee from the violence of terrorism,war and conflict.
Thank you for participating.
The cost of building and furnishing the shelter is$400 to $500 USD, depending on availability of donated material. It will take about 6-8 hours toconstruct the 12x12x8-foot temporary structure.
It should be located in a prominent public location – a university quad, community center,church foyer, or gymnasium for 5-10 days to encourage individuals to see just what IDP life islike. As they enter, visitors will be shown the storyof one displaced family, see photographs and statistics from various Nigerian displacementcamps, and learn about actions they can take tomake a difference.
Though participation in Build Freedom is free, a$100 do-nation is suggested – you can help us provide a voice for change on this crisis to our leaders in Washington and the UN. To make a donation visit www.21wilberforce.org/give

Introduction
2
The 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative is a Christianhuman rights organization empowering a globalmovement to advance religious freedom as a universal right through advocacy, capacity buildingand technology.
Founded in October 2014 by Randel Everett, theformer Executive Director of the Baptist GeneralConvention of Texas, the organization opened itsdoors in January 2015. With headquarters in Washington D.C., it has a staff of eight includingformer Congressman Frank Wolf who representednorthern Virginia in the House for 34 years, authored the legislation that created the UnitedStates Commission on International Religious Freedom and helped establish a U.S. Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom.
In its first year, the organization focused on thegenocidal impact of ISIS on Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq. In 2016, its primary focus turned towards northern and central Nigeria where Boko Haram Fulani militants terrorize Christians, mainstream Muslims and others.
Along the way, 21CWI has educated over 13,000 oninternational religious freedom and trained 2,700leaders about persecution around the world. ItsSpeak Freedom A!ert and Awakening Daily Prayeremail programs reach several thousand others. Ithas provided 70 pages of personal accounts by ISISvictims to the Office of Global Criminal Justice atthe U.S. Department of State, helped 40 children displaced by terrorism attend school, partneredwith numerous churches and denominationsacross the US and helped launch a variety of student conferences, internships and campuschapters

A. For Basic Shelter Construction: About $200, though some of the material could be acquired via donation
Lumber:4 – 2x4” 8-foot studs 2 – 2x4” 12-foot studs8 – 2x4” 104” (8’8”) studs1 – 2x10” 10-foot long board11 – 4x4-foot wood loading pallets – make
sure they are the 48” square size(many places use loading pallets and discard them after use – ask if a donation is possible)
1 box 2.5” or 3” wood screws 1 box roofing shingle tacks 1 box #8 or #12 common nails
Plastic or canvas tarps (for the roof ):• 8x10-foot tarp • 9x12-foot tarp • 16x20-foot tarp
(The national colors of Nigeria are green and white,so one suggestion is to look for green andwhite/silver tarps. To give it a more consistent color appearance use the same color for the 9x12’ and 16x20’ tarps (green suggested) and an alternate color for the 8x10’ tarp(white/silver suggested). That said, displaced people often construct homes out ofwhatever materials are available, so it’s OK to usethree different colors. This is the most expensive part of the shelter, so ask if individuals or businesses in your area have usedtarps they could give or lend towards this project.)
Rope & bungie cords: One 50-75 foot package of light rope (to help secure tarps in place)5-7 long bungie cords (especially ifthe shelter is outside in the wind)
Green & white brush or spray paint (not essential, but could be used to add some additional color to the floor pallets of the shelter)
B. Internal Shelter Props:About $125, though all of these could comethrough donations, borrowed materials, or be purchased second-hand
None of the items here are required – see StepThree of this manual for more information and useincluded pictures to help you add a variety of proppieces to be displayed around the shelter in orderto increase depth and realism.
• Assortment of pots, pans, plates, cups, and cans
• Assortment of clothing (5-10 pieces)• 1-2 Plastic Chairs • Sleeping Mat • Pillow • Used Suitcase
C. Printed Internal Storyboard and Mobilization Tools:About $150, depending on printing method
• roll of twine • 5 small buckets (used to hold various flyers
and mobilization tools)• chalk board & chalk (for social media posting items)
• organizer Tray/Caddy (to hold chalk board, chalk, pens, etc.)
• empty coffee can • about 75 clothes pins (to hang pictures and statistic sheets)
• printed pictures and statistic sheets – available via our Dropbox. Print these BEFORE beginning the project. For accessto the Dropbox files [email protected] and in the content of the email tell us about yourself –your name, location, planned build date,public launch date, social media handles,why you are completing this project, who and how many you are hoping to reach andanything else you would like to share. Wewill email you back DropBox login information so that you can have access to the files there. While these pictures and statistic sheets can be printed on a home or

office printer with photo-quality paper, we stronglysuggest that you put the files on a USB Drive, takethem to a local printing service (Kinkos or Staples,etc.) and have them more professionally printed.This will likely cost between $100-$150 but will significantly add to the quality the experience. You will need a total of about 35 pictures and statistic sheets to decorate the shelter. Choose the ones in the DropBox folder you believe most relevant. We suggest you use a mixture of statistic sheets, pictures of displaced areas and pictures of the displaced people. • Clear plastic cover sheets to protect and
preserve the pictures and statistic sheets, especially if your shelter will be outdoors and poor weather is expected.• Signs and mobilization tools (files from the
DropBox folder, printed with your local home or office computer & printer) • Handouts and Flyers (files from the DropBoxfolder, printed with your local home or office computer & printer or a at a local print service center)
– Linus Family Flyer OR Yakubu FamilyFlyer (read both and chose one)
– IDP Home Flyer Take Action Overview – Nigeria Fact Sheet– Nigeria Ruth Project Flyer
• External sign for the Shelter (this can beprinted at a local print service center or hand-lettered)
D. Tools Needed
• two six-foot ladders• two hammers (more if there’s a larger group working)
• two cordless power screwdrivers • tape measure • saw to cut the 2”x10” 10-foot board• brushes (if painting – add a drop cloth if
painting inside)

This shelter was designed by Habitat for Humanity of Winchester, Frederick and Clarke, a chapter located in northwestern Virginia nearWashington D.C. It’s designed to resemble a typicalIDP shelter as found in IDP camps around theworld.
Please be careful – your safety and security is important.
Assemble the shelter at the display location, sinceit would be very difficult to move once finished.
1. Assemble the materials and tools needed.
2. Gather the team together to give them a briefwelcome and overview.
Use some of the DropBox facts & figures and one ofthe IDP family stories to help them appreciate thereal and meaningful contribution they’ll be making. Discuss how the shelter will be used towelcome a variety of people over the next 5-10days. If the shelter is being assembled in a publiclocation, many who are walking by will ask themwhat they’re doing. Discuss how they could answerthat question and invite people the public openingof the shelter. This is especially relevant if you arebuilding on a university campus or in a communitysetting. If you can play an online video, considershowing one of the following to further inform theteam:
Stand with Nigeria Video at www.StandwithNigeria.org (or on Vimeo athttps://vimeo.com/169029682
Pray for Nigeria Video athttp://www.prayercast.com/nigeria.html
3. Line up three of the wood pallets to create thebottom half of the left wall and screw them together. Repeat this process to create the bottom half of the right wall. Optional: paint someof the pallets green and white.
4. Repeat the above process with just two palletsfor the bottom half of the back wall.
2 Build the Shelter
6
5. Add the vertical beams to complete the leftand right walls. The pieces you’ve just assembledform the bottom halves of the left, right and backwalls of the shelter. The vertical beams we’ll addnow will complete left and right walls.
Start with the left wall. Use the four 2x4” 8-footstuds. Line one stud along each edge of the pallets. Attach the studs to the pallets with screwsgoing through the studs and the vertical edges ofthe pallets. For the middle pallet, center the studsabove the left and right joints.
Repeat this process for the right wall, using the fourlonger 2x4” 104” (8’8”) studs – this wall will be taller.
6. Use the two 2x4” 12-foot studs to create thetop edges of the left and right walls. Screw thesein place.
Left wall (8’ high)
Right wall (8’8” (104”) high)
7
7. One wall at a time, attach the two side walls tothe back wall base with screws between the pallets where they form the corners.
8. Screw on the roof supports (the remaining four2x4” 104” (8’8”) studs)
9. Carefully remove four planks from one of the remaining three pallets and use them to add support bracing to the exterior corners of the shelter at both the front and the back of the shelter. (You’ll use the rest of this pallet later.)
10. Take another one of the unused pallets andscrew it to the front edge of the left wall to createa partial front wall.
8
11. Take the planks off of the final unused palletand the remaining planks of the pallet set asidein Step 9 above. Screw on these planks as stabilizing slats to the upper halves of the leftand right walls. (Save two planks for the nextstep.)
12. Take two remaining slats and, on the inside where the front wall and left wall meet, attach these slats to add further stability and createtwo narrow corner shelves.
13. Form a shelf along the back wall bytaking the 2x10” 10-foot board and cutting itdown to 9 feet. The Back Wall is 8 feet wide, so theextra six inches on each side should stick outsidethe shelter walls and so hold the shelf in place onceyou slide the board through the side walls. Slidethe board through near the top of the left and rightwall pallets (just under 4 feet high) so that it’sclearly a shelf and not a bench.
14. Place the roof and side tarping. Start in theback right-hand corner where the right wall andback wall meet and drape the largest (16x20-foot)tarp using roof tacks to secure it to the top edgesof the back and right walls and the top roof support beams.
9
Next, take the smallest (8x10-foot) tarp anddrape it around the side so that it covers theFront Wall but leaves an open space for a door.Secure it in place with tacks. You can use one of theremaining remaining pallet planks and nail it to aninside corner and use a nail on it to hang the hangthe tarp corner, leaving the doorway open.
Now take the middle-size (9x12-foot) tarp anddrape it over the top of the shelter to create therest of the roof. Position it so that it only covers thetop half of the left wall. Secure it with tacks.
15. Use the rope and bungie cords to further secure the tarps in place as needed. The bungiecords can be used at both top and bottom. This isespecially important if building the location is outside and in a windy environment.
This completes the construction of the shelter. You’re now ready to add props simulating the life of a displaced family as well as signs and mobilization handouts.

3 Add Props to the Shelter
This is the step with the greatest amount of flexibility and creativity. We have suggested a fewitems below in order to contribute to the sense ofrealism. We encourage you to look through thesample shelter pictures in Dropbox folder and useyour own creativity to build as realistic a home aspossible.
Some suggestions: • an assortment of pots, pans, plates, cups,
and cans• an assortment of clothing items (5-10 pieces)• one or two plastic chairs • sleeping mat • pillow • used suitcase
12
4 Add the Internal Story Items and Mobilization Tools
This is the heart of the project that will combinewith the shelter environment to educate and engage visitors.
1. Use the twine to create lines inside theshelter to hang the pictures and statistics sheets.along the left and right walls near the back, secured with nails in the ball studs. As seen in thesecond picture below this should leave open thespace as you immediately walk into the shelter andthe space above the two shelves next to the frontwall. Repeat the process along the back wall withlonger pieces of twine.
2. Place the clothes pins on the twine so that youare ready to hang the pictures and statisticssheets. You’ll need two clothes pins per hangingitem. As seen in the picture above, our suggestionis that generally along the lleft and right walls youhang three items per rope and along the back wallfive to six items. To add a sense of realism, considerhanging clothes along the top line along the backwall instead of pictures.
3. Install the pictures and statistic sheets you’vedownloaded from DropBox and printed. Two possible suggestions. First, try and create a sense of a developing story so that as participants enterthey start along one wall and make their wayaround the shelter to a sense of conclusion withthe mobilization tools you’ll place later. Second,mix the pictures of people, pictures of actual displacement camps and the statistic sheets so thatlearning is mixed into the experience. If your shelter is outdoors and poor weather expectedmake sure to use the clear plastic coversheets toprotect them.
13
4. Place the Mobilization Tools. Hammer two nailsslightly apart from each other into a wall slat justinside the entrance at about a 5-foot height. Usesome twine draped from these nails to hang onebucket. Next to nails hang the sign ‘Step 1: Take’ sothat participants know where to begin. Inside thebucket put one of the following two handouts (or amixture of both): Linus Family Flyer OR YakubuFamily Flyer. Both of these flyers tell the story ofone family in Nigeria that has experienced displacement – as participants enter into the shelter they will be immediately able to completethis journey alongside a family.
Just past that first bucket, place the sign “Step 2:Explore” near where the left-wall row of handing pictures and statistics sheets begins.
Near the two slat shelves you created earlier, hammer in three nails in various locations to createa ‘mobilization station’. Hang three buckets onthese nails. Install the sign “Step 3: Engage”. In eachbucket place one of the mobilization tools from theDropBox folder you’ve decided to use. We recommend these three pieces:
• IDP Home Flyer Take Action Overview (tohelp participants know what steps to takenext)
• Nigeria Fact Sheet (to help participants knowhow to best pray for these vicrtims)
• Nigeria Ruth Project Flyer (to help participants sponsor the education of a child displaced by Boko Haram)
Tape a sample piece to the outside of each bucketor mak a bucket sign that indicates what’s in eachone. Encourage people to take each one of the mobilization tools as they exit.
Take the last unused bucket and turn it upsidedown so that it acts as a small table. In the caddyplace the chalk board, chalk, pens, the sign “SocialMedia Chalk Board” and the Information Requestsheets. Put the filled caddy on top of the bucket.Take the empty coffee can and make a slit in thetop lid and place the coffee can near the caddy sothat if participants want additional informationthey can fill out an information request sheet, foldit and drop it in the coffee can – after the event isover if you can send the information from those requests to us ([email protected])we’ll send each person free additional informationabout what is unfolding in northern and centralNigeria.
14
5. Add external signs. Use your own creativity todevelop signs that can be placed around the outside of the shelter inviting people to enter andparticipate. You can use professional signage, signsyou have printed, handwritten poster board oreven paint a welcome sign using some of the extrapallet slats. This signage is important to welcomeand frame the experience, and crucial if you arebuilding the shelter in a public location some maywalk by and not realize that the intent is for themto tour the shelter.
6. Have all of your team go through the shelterthemselves and then spend some time as a groupdiscussing promotion related to the launch andposting pictures to social media. Before concluding, join together in a circle and spend time praying that each visitor will have a meaningful experience and that the many displaced across Nigeria will soon know restoration and renewed life.

5 Launch Your Build Freedom Experience
Congratulations! It’s now time to launch this program in your community. There are fourthings to consider …
1. Promotion Strong promotion will helpcreate a meaningful Build Freedom event. Youknow your local environment and what will resonate, so use your creativity
A few ideas …
• A launch flyer or handbill announcing thelocation, date and time that can be distributed locally about one or two weeks in advance
• Announcements in churches, small groups,chapel services, and on-campus groups at colleges and universities
• Partnering with other organizations and groupswho can then help with promotion
• Signs or posters that can be placed in publicspaces around churches, the campus or the community
• Sidewalk chalk art and announcements• T-shirts and stickers• A slide show that can be used where possible• Email everyone in your contact list• Social media – use #StandwithNigeria and
#BuildFreedom tags; use selected pictures and statistics to promote and pique interest
• Use the videos in the Dropbox folder forpromotion
2. Connect with a broader engagementprogram. Strengthen your Build Freedom project by connecting it to a broader and morecomprehensive effort.
Here are a few ideas …
• A church Solidarity Sunday event with a time ofintentional prayer within the service, an encouragement for members to participate in theBuild Freedom Shelter, and possibly even a themedsermon. In the Dropbox folder is a sample flyer thatcould be modified to highlight a Solidarity Sundayevent and a Church Action Pack that will help pastors teach and preach in this topic, Combiningthe Build Freedom program with one of the suggested sermons and some of the personal testimonies in the Church Action Pack would be a powerful mix.
• Combine small-group teaching with some of thesuggested teaching / sermon starters in the ChurchAction Pack with a tour of the shelter
• A chapel presentation, ideally student-led, on thereality of refugees in general and persecution inNigeria in particular – ask your chaplain to invitesomeone from the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative to give a presentation
• On-campus Bible Study sessions that use one ofthe suggested teaching / sermon starter in theChurch Action Pack
• A lecture on refugees and persecution aroundthe world using individuals in your communitywho may have personal or family experience in the subject
• A conversation / lecture via Skype at ascheduled time with someone from the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative joining your church or small group
• Launching a student group focused oninternational religious freedom using this as alaunch event to collect emails of others who mightbe interested in joining. Have a flyer on or near theshelter announcing the first meeting. In the Drop-box folder are several resources that can help youdo this, including a flyer introducing campus chapters, an annual conference each May designedfor undergraduate and graduate students, and details about how students can participate in a21st Century Wilberforce Initiative internship inWashington D.C.
• Consider partnering with a local communityservice organization such as a Food Pantry, SchoolBackpack Programs, or Habitat for Humanity sothat participants can bridge between the realitiesaround the world with the realities in the localcommunity
• Host a movie night paired with the Shelter event– a few movies to consider: Amazing Grace: TheStory of William Wilberforce, POV: Lost Boys of Sudan,The Cross: Jesus in China, Hotel Rwanda, The GoodLie or Of Gods and Men
• If the shelter is outside ask for volunteers to joinyou for one night where all of you sleep outsidenext to the shelter to gain an even more immersiveexperience of what faces refugees
3. The Shelter Event Strengthen the event itself with some of these elements:
• Publicize early, creatively, broadly, intentionally and repeatedly • Good signage at the shelter that welcomes
people • Set up a table and chairs near the shelter and
recruit people to work in shifts who will help runthe event, invite people to participate, show themhow to begin, help them take pictures that can beposted to social media, collect their email addresses for further follow-up, etc.• Keep track of how many people enter the shelter
so that you can report your impact totals• Check the mobilization buckets on a regular
basis and, as needed, print new mobilization toolsto keep them appropriately stocked in the buckets
• Add a fundraiser to the event and see if you canraise $900 – enough money to send a child displaced by Boko Haram to school for a year • Enhance this fundraiser by asking the church or
corporate sponsors to also donate for a displacedchild’s education • Add a political advocacy element – have a letter
you’ve written to your Members of Congress and,as people exit the shelter, ask them to sign the letter urging your Representatives to do more toaddress Nigeria, refugees and the reality of persecution around the world. For more information on this, email us at [email protected] and we can helpyou craft a specific and detailed letter that’s likelyto get the attention of your elected representativeif it’s signed by many from your constituency • Have a solidarity postcard and, as people exit the
shelter, have them write a card to the refugees andvictims in Nigeria about their thoughts and prayersfor them – mail these to us at the 21st CenturyWilberforce Initiative later and we will mail all ofthem to Nigeria so that people there can hear yourencouragement, which would be a huge blessingto them
• Invite your elected Representatives – local individuals such as the Mayor and Council Members and your Member of Congress – to joinyou at a set time for the public launch of the shelter; if you’re on-campus invite your college or university President or other executive leadership and consider having a public event.
• Take lots of pictures and videos that you can useto tweet or post to FaceBook and Instagram. Youcan also give some of them to local media outlets.Send some to us as well; we’re working to build avideo of Build Freedom Shelters from across the USand we’d love to include yours!
• Tweet your posts to us: @21wilberforce • Invite your local media and, if on-campus, your
student newspaper; send a two-paragraph description of the event with an invitation to yourlocal newspapers, radio stations and TV stationsand ask them to come and tour a project highlighting the refugee crisis – if framed properlyyou are almost guaranteed to gather interest fromlocal media; if you’re on-campus, also work withyour college or university’s Public Relations Officeto add institutional weight to the effort.
4. Follow-Up Follow through later with some ofthese ideas:
• Send a thank-you note to:- all of the build team letting them know
how it went and the impact totals - the key leadership of your church,
university or community - any businesses which donated money
or materials- anyone who loaned material or props
used • Send the name and email address of anyone who
signed up for more information to [email protected] so that we cansend them a free copy of additional information that will help them go deeper
• If you’re launching an ongoing student chapter or pairing this event with a broader initiative follow up with anyone who signed upabout that plan
• Promptly clean up the shelter area with properdisposal of all materials and a return of any borrowed items
• Now that you have built the shelter once andhave the components on hand consider rebuilding it in another public location in the community to increase the amount of individualswho have the opportunity to participate.

17
Some possible locations: - a local school gymnasium- in a community square, especially arounda local community festival
- at a church in the area- as an exhibit booth at a local music festival- near the district office of your local Member of Congress
• Send us an email at [email protected] or give us a callat 571.297.3160 to let us know your experience,what worked, what needs improvement, and whatwe can do to continue to support you in your valued efforts.
Thank you for all of the hard work, planning andpreparation that went into this project. Please knowthat these actions to raise awareness and engagement are making a powerful difference in thelives of those who are facing one of the most challenging circumstances in the world.
Thank you for making a difference!
