Hope for Them: Observing World Day Against Human Trafficking

Posted on by

July 30th, 2022 is World Day Against Human Trafficking. Since 2003, 225,000 people have been trafficked (source). Being a blog about 300 young Chibok girls who were kidnapped (and so many more on top of that), it would be remiss not to dedicate a post to those being used, abused, and devastated by human trafficking.

While it is heartbreaking and evil, Jesus can provide the hope these people need. Please pray with me over these people. This poem is for them.

She was chosen
but not for the light
She is a nameless face
walking through the night

Another is trapped in the back of a truck
told she would make money
but the truth is, she’s stuck

Are all they are is bodies?
This has happened since the beginning of sin
but with Jesus now
Their new lives can begin

2 CHIBOK GIRLS FOUND!!!

Posted on by

It is with great joy that I report that 2 of the Chibok schoolgirls have been found!!!

I remember when I would cry out to the Lord for even just one Chibok girl to be found. Now, MORE THAN 100 HAVE BEEN FOUND OR FREED.

They were both found with children– one with one child, the other with two. It blows my mind.

I look back at all Jesus has done, and it brings Psalm 116 to mind. Especially verses 1-2:

“I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;

    he heard my cry for mercy.

2 Because he turned his ear to me,

    I will call on him as long as I live.”

Psalm 116:1-2, NIV

Guys, Jesus hears us. He Loves us. And He has heard our prayers, even if they take a lot of time to see. And He will be a faithful God, a God who Heals and Loves them passionately.

SO, I don’t have much more to say than “LET’S CELEBRATE!!!”

Celebrate not only the two girls who were freed, but the God who Loves them and brought them out of captivity.

With Love, in Christ,

Jail Breaks: Praying for Prisons

Posted on by

While it is amazing that so many terrorists are being captured, it must be brought up that many of those terrorists gain freedom through jail breaks. Boko Haram terrorists are held together in packed jails, with lax security and a lack of technological surveillance.

Please pray with me, especially over those in charge of these prisons. Pray that they would beef-up technology in the prisons, have more dedicated law officers, and would be more wise in how they hold these terrorists.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support!

In Christ,

Salvation for Terrorists: A Time for Celebration & Prayer

Posted on by

Friends & Followers,
There is so much to celebrate. I have not posted here recently, but I come bearing amazing news. I will try to keep it short, but want to bring these things to you so that you can celebrate, and pray over, these things with me!

  1. 61,000 Boko Haram suspects and ISWAP terrorists have been held in Northern Nigeria! Rauf Aregbesola, Nigeria’s Interior Minister, said, “Today, a core of the criminal elements and insurgents across the country are on a path to defeat, they have been heavily degraded.” These men are being held in prisons all along Northern Nigeria. One thing you can pray for is that these men would submit to Christ, repent of their sin, and be transformed by the only One who can do all of this.
  2. Six Boko Haram/ISWAP Commanders, and 3,856 Fighters, have surrendered in the past two weeks. This is along the same vein as the 61,000 Boko Haram terrorists being captured, but it is important to note that six of those captured are commanders in this terrorist organization. General Onyeuko has stated their names: “The surrendered are; Mallam Mala Hassan, Ali Madagali, Musa Bashir, Buba Dahiru, Jafar Hamma and Abbali NAKIB Polisawa.” As stated before, these men need Christ! Let’s pray that they would recieve justice for their crimes, but that they would also come to know Jesus.

This is just a small sampling of what is happening in Northern Nigeria and its surrounding nations. There is much victory, but also such fertile soil in the hearts of these terrorists to recieve the Gospel. If the Apostle Paul was once a terrorist, there is hope for these terrorists as well.

Please pray with me over those they have hurt; that there would be justice; and that there would be true revival.

With Love, In Christ,

Don’t Give Up: A Short Letter

Posted on by

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
(Galatians 6:9)

April 14th, 2014, almost 300 young girls were kidnapped by barbaric men. Their lives were completely interrupted. Their hopes and dreams, in many ways, were dashed.

At the creation of this blog, it was my desperate prayer that even one girl would be freed. Amazingly, 8 years later, at least over 100 of the girls have been released (!!!!).

I look at Galatians 6:9, and see the harvest of so many girls now living in freedom. But it also reminds me that there is much to be done, still.

Do not become weary in doing good. The LORD is faithful to reap a harvest if we keep on going in prayer, support, and advocacy for these girls.

With Love, in Christ,

Happy Father’s Day!

Two years later, this still rings true.
Many fathers are waiting for their daughters to be freed, while some families mourn the passing of their fathers due to terrorism. Please keep those families, and waiting fathers, in your prayers. Thank you.

“Fifty”: A Poem for Nigeria

Posted on by

Between 50-70 people were killed in a church service this past Sunday while celebrating Pentecost. This poem is for them.

Fifty.
Fifty family members
slipped through the cultural cracks
passed the divide, they can’t come back
And seemingly no one bats an eyelash.

Fifty men– with their children and wives
blood and bruises, they have lost their lives
and seemingly no US headlines will tell

Gone to hell? No,
singing Your praises, Father, under the church roof
They’re devoted to you Lord, their lives are the proof;
Lost because they love you.

Please,
Let us take note
and speak aloud,
of what they spoke:
fellowship, devotion,
loyalty, emotion
that cannot be surpassed.
They lie in tatters–
do they matter?
It’s something I
have to ask.
