I AM HEARTBROKEN AGAIN. HOW MANY MORE TEARS MUST I SHED BEFORE THE WORLD HEARS OUR CRY?
I am writing these words with a heart that is bleeding. Days ago, I stood beside a mass grave in Plateau State, Nigeria, weeping over the lifeless bodies of members of my congregation whose dreams, hopes, and futures were brutally cut short. I cried until I had no more strength. I thought those tears would be enough for one lifetime.
But today, I am heartbroken again.
Four more innocent people have been killed near my church. Four more families have been thrown into mourning. Four more homes have been filled with unbearable silence. Four more people who woke up with hopes and dreams will never return to their loved ones.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS?
How many more graves must we stand beside? How many more mothers must cry over their children? How many more children must grow up asking why their fathers and mothers never came home?
And who knows whether I am next?
Who can guarantee that tomorrow I will not be the one lying in a grave while my congregation gathers to mourn me? Who will stand beside my family if the next attack takes my life?
I am a shepherd. My responsibility is to protect, pray for, comfort, and lead my flock. But what happens when the shepherd is constantly forced to bury the very people he was called to care for?
My beloved, I am tired of burying my people. I am tired of seeing innocent blood spilled. I am tired of watching children become orphans and women become widows. Must our children inherit nothing but stories of killings, mass graves, and broken families?
OUR ONLY OPTION LEFT IS TO FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.
We cannot simply fold our hands and watch our families, communities, and future disappear. If we do not stand together, protect innocent lives, and demand urgent action, we fear that one day there may be no one left to tell our story.
Are we going to wait until an entire generation is wiped out before the world decides that our lives matter?
I am therefore making another desperate appeal to the United States Government and the American people.
Please, hear our cry. Please, help us. We are not asking for sympathy alone; we are asking for meaningful intervention to protect innocent lives, strengthen security, support displaced families, and bring those responsible for these killings to justice.
How many more innocent Nigerians must die before the international community acts with urgency?
To the world, I ask: If these were your children, your parents, your brothers, or your sisters, would silence still be an option?
I am not asking the world to remember us only when another mass grave is discovered. I am asking the world to help us while there are still lives to save.
I WILL KEEP RAISING MY VOICE. I WILL KEEP SPEAKING FOR MY PEOPLE. I WILL KEEP CRYING OUT FOR JUSTICE.
Our lives matter. Our children matter. Our future matters.
May God remember Plateau State. May God comfort every grieving family. May He protect those who are still alive and give us the strength to see another day.
Because honestly, I do not know how many more funerals this broken heart can endure.

This app has conditioned young women to believe that fathers don’t deserve appreciation. I hope this video brings tears of joy to fathers who consistently show up and reminds girls and women to appreciate the men who genuinely do.
Do you remember the gentleman I waited for 2 weeks to meet. His name is George Muwonge, the man behind @safivintages. He can turn any space into a marvel.
I had earlier visited a friend's smart house and when the owner told me who set it up, I said I must meet that man for I need to be a luxury jajja in future 😜.
In this video, I found him at a client's project he was about to hand over....from a 50x100 plot to a fully furnished house.
Billionaire Tyler Perry gave his own family 60 days to find jobs or lose his financial support. Despite being worth an estimated $1.4 billion, he refused to keep supporting relatives who weren't working.
In the video below, Perry explains why he fired his own aunt and later gave other family members an ultimatum after his mother's death.
He wanted them to become financially independent instead of relying on his fortune.
One aunt regularly called asking for money, and Perry kept sending it until he offered her a job. But she repeatedly called in and failed to show up for work, so he eventually fired her.
His mother had also asked him to support other relatives, and he continued helping them while she was alive. After she died in 2009, Perry sent them letters giving them 60 days to find employment or lose his financial support.
According to Perry, every relative eventually found a job. He didn't care whether the jobs paid well because he wanted them to earn their own money and have something to feel proud of.
Perry also recalled a relative getting angry when he refused to hand over $1 million. He believed that continually giving money to people who refused to work was making their dependence worse.
A billionaire who could afford to support his entire family chose to make them earn their own living.
If you had $1.4 billion, would you keep supporting unemployed relatives or give them the same 60-day ultimatum?
I believe Christians need a better place to connect online. That’s why I’m inviting you to join ActsSocial, a free Christian social app built around gratitude, prayer, Scripture, and real community.
Días después de denunciar la persecución contra los cristianos en Nigeria, el reverendo Ezekiel Dachomo vuelve a estar de luto, mientras sepulta a más miembros de su iglesia en medio de los continuos ataques y persecución de parte del Islam en Nigeria.
¡INTERCEDAMOS A DIOS POR LA IGLESIA PERSEGUIDA EN NIGERIA Y POR EL REV. EZEQUIEL DACHOMO! 🙏
A student at NW Missouri State recently asked me: "Why is my 'queer' behavior considered wrong?" Culture tells us that morality is based on feelings, but true love requires truth. Here’s how I answered her live on campus 👇
I carry your memory with me every step of the way, and it gives me a strength that words cannot describe 🤍
Our FA Cup run continues, I’m reminded that God is the ultimate author and authority. His plan is greater than anything we could ever imagine.
