To Readers, and Fellow Partners in Prayer,
The picture, below, has been the “banner image” of this blog for almost as long as this blog has been in existence.
The picture features names and pictures of 60 of the missing Chibok schoolgirls.
I wanted to take some time to focus on each of the Chibok girls who have been kidnapped– those named and pictured, and those who have not been, yet are remembered in the hearts of their Loved Ones. Below are the names of the 60 Chibok schoolgirls, listed correspondingly to each number seen in the picture shown above. (While I hate “labeling” these young women with numbers, I only do so, so that you, the reader, can read their names.) I have posted their names below, as well as 15 more names of girls not pictured in the banner, but pictured, and named, here.
Please be advised that some of the names may have minor misspellings. I have tried to copy them down as correctly as possible. Here are their names:
To see this list larger as a spreadsheet, now including lists of the girls found on October 13th, 2016; May 6th, 2017; and January 4th, 2018, please click here. I encourage you to pray for these young women, as the Spirit leads.
On April 14th, 2016, footage was released of 15 of the Chibok girls, purportedly filmed in December of 2015 (source). Two of them are Mairama Yahaya and Naomi Zakariya. #24 and #60 in the banner, above. The rest of these girls are pictured, and named, here (originally found in this article):
UPDATE: Three more young women’s names, and pictures, were found in this article. They are here (Grace Paul is #13 in the Banner Photo list):
Finally, CAN (the Christian Association of Nigeria) published 178 names of the Chibok girls– approximately 103 of which are not already listed, here, in this blog post. I listed them in this printable, easy-to-view, online Google Docs document. 129 are said to be Christian. At least 15, in the entire listing of names, are muslim. I tried my best to make sure that none of the names were already mentioned, but many of these precious young women have dual names– so, please keep that in mind, as you view, and use, this document.
While the majority of these young women are Christian, there are still many who are muslim, who need to see, and know Christ. Please be praying, not only for the Chibok girls’ physical freedom, but their spiritual freedom, as well.
In all, please feel free to use both the numbered picture resource above, the above slideshow, and this document to spur on prayer for these 214 young girls.
At the end of the day, there are still many more of these young girls still captive– at least 4, if none of these names are dual names. While these 4 young girls may not be widely pictured, or named, they are still Loved by Christ (Isaiah 49:16).
Please continue to pray for the Chibok schoolgirls– and the countless, but not nameless, young men, women, and children who have been held captive by Boko Haram.
Thank you!
“‘I will say to the north, “Give them up!”
and to the south, “Do not hold them back.”
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.’”
(Isaiah 43:6-7, NIV)
UPDATE:
The #BringBackOurGirls campaign have posted an exhaustive, thorough, official list of the 219 Chibok girls. Maryam Ali Maiyanga, one Chibok Girl freed on Saturday, November 5th, 2016, was #198 on their list. #15, Solomi Pogu, was FREED as of January 11th, 2018!!! While names between Isaiah 62 Prayer Ministry’s list and #BringBackOurGirls’ list may be different, please rely upon #BringBackOurGirls’ list for official names. Isaiah 62 Prayer Ministry’s list was done with great effort and as close attention to detail and accuracy as possible, but I believe #BringBackOurGirls has
better and more accurate resources in finding and posting the Chibok Girls’ names.
Here is the picture list of the remaining missing Chibok girls (print a bigger-font list of this, here):
Thank you for praying over these precious young women!!!
