Remember 
Hajaratu is a young Christian widow from Chibob, Nigeria. Her husband David Matthew, died of an illness in 2019, leaving her to care for her five children on her own. Her life forever changed again on July 10, 2020.
Fulani militants stormed her village, firing guns as they attacked. Haharatu woke up her kids, telling them the village was under attack. "I strapped my little daughter on my back and went outside to the gate."
Her other kids, old enough to run on their own, joined the rest of the people fleeing the village.
But that night Hajaratu lost much more than all of her earthly possessions. She also lost her youngest daughter. As Hajaratu nearly drowned trying to cross a river in her escape, her daughter was swept off her back. She made it across, and was left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.
Today, she is beginning to find hope again as she slowly comes to grips with the bitter grief of losing her daughter. Through Open Doors, Hajaratu received food relief, financial support to rebuild and trauma counselling.
"I was greatly encouraged through the trauma program. I am saying a big thank you even on behalf of those who attended. We are very grateful," she says.
Please stand with Hajaratu and her family in prayer.
Pray for Hajaratu as she continues to deal with the trauma of losing her daughter. Ask God to protect her four remaining children and to provide for all their needs.
Pray for God to protect the Christians of Chibob from future attacks by Fulani militants and ask God to give them the courage to stay strong in their faith.
Pray for peace in the region and for the government to intervene and provide protection for Christians and more relief and support for Christian villages when they're attacked.
Pray for the church in Nigeria to grow in number and in obedience, and to remain a light for Christ in one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a Christian.
Pray for our partners on the ground in Nigeria. Ask God to give them wisdom and success in delivering support, trauma counselling, discipleship and training.
Thank you so much for joining me to pray for our dear persecuted family overseas. The church is one body no matter the land. God bless.
