Friends, April 14 marks seven years since Boko Haram stormed the Chibok Girl's State Secondary School, where 275 girls had gathered to take an exam.
84 months
365 weeks
2,557 days.
Parents of these precious girls will commenorate the event that changed their lives foreer amid an atmosphere of exasperation. Very little is known about the whereaouts and the condition of the girls who remain in captivity. It is also not clear whether there are any ongoing efforts to negotiate a release, much less progress in securing their freedom. Over the past seven years, the parents of the Chibok girls have had to endure speculation upon speculation about the status of their still captive daughters.
For the parents it is a nightmare with no end. Adding to their stress is the continuing insecurity in their town, as Boko Haram still carries out attacks in the area.
Our field worker asks us to join our brothers and sisters in Nigeria in praying.
Please pray that the Chibok parents will receive the happy news about their daughters' release soon. As they commemorate the seventh anniversary of possibly the worst days of their lifes, pray for God's sustaining grace and peace that surpasses their own understanding. Pray the many other Nigerians whose loved ones have been abducted may also experience God's mercy in this way.
Pray for renewed dedication and transparency from the government in efforts to secure the release of the Chibok girls and all other captives. Pray for a breakthrough in the battle against insecurity in northern Nigeria.
Pray for the Chibok girls, Leah Sharibu and many other people who remain in Boko Haram captivity. Pray that each day, as they face their frightful circumstances, they would be reminded of God's presence, His love for them and His high and glorious purposes for them, which go beyond human understanding.
Thank the Lord for the release of about half of the Chibok girls and all other captives that have found freedom. Thank Him for all progress they have made in life outside of captivity. Pray the Lord will continue to remind them of His proximity and that they would continue to follow Him with joy.
Pray for those that may still be suffering from trauma. Pray the Lord would make a way for them to receive the care they so desperately need.
Thank you so much for praying for our persecuted family. God bless. michelle.
