"In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s gate two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.' – Esther 2:21

THE CRY OF OUR CHILDREN: WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THEM?
These aren't just statistics.
These are children. These are sisters. These are families.
Shot while running for their lives.
Wounded by terrorists.
Left without food, safety, or medical care.
My heart breaks as I look at the suffering of innocent Christians across Nigeria. Every day, families go to bed praying that they will live to see another sunrise. Every night, mothers hold their children tightly, wondering if armed men will come before morning.
One child was shot in the leg while fleeing an attack. Imagine that scene for a moment. The sound of gunfire echoes through the village. Homes are burning. People are screaming. A frightened child runs as fast as possible, hoping to reach safety, hoping to find his mother, hoping to survive. Then suddenly a bullet tears through his leg. He falls to the ground crying in pain.
What kind of world allows a child to suffer like this?
What crime did he commit?
What wrong did these children do except being born into communities that now live under constant fear?
Today, many of these children lie in hospital beds. Others remain in camps for displaced people. Some have lost their fathers. Some have lost their mothers. Many have lost everything they ever called home.
The Bible says, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God" (Mark 10:14).
Yet the children of our land are suffering wounds no child should ever bear.
Behind every wounded child is a mother crying herself to sleep.
Behind every burned home is a family wondering how they will survive tomorrow.
Behind every grave is a story that will never be fully told.
The Lord commands us in Psalm 82:3, "Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy."
So I ask the world today:
How many more children must be shot before we care?
How many more mothers must bury their sons and daughters before we listen?
How many more churches must be emptied by violence before action is taken?
Nigeria is bleeding.
Our children are crying.
Our widows are mourning.
Our communities are living in fear.
Yet many suffer in silence while the world looks away.
But we will not stop praying.
We will not stop speaking.
We will not stop standing for the innocent.
For the Lord says, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).
May God comfort every grieving family.
May God heal every wounded child.
May God strengthen every persecuted Christian.
May God bring justice where there is violence and peace where there is fear.
And may the day come when no child in Nigeria will have to run from bullets, no mother will have to search for her missing child, and no family will have to bury their loved ones because of hatred.
Oh Lord, hear the cries of Your people.
Oh Lord, protect Your children.
Oh Lord, heal our land.
Amen.

HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
A Cry From the Persecuted Church in Nigeria: Please Do Not Forget Us 🇳🇬
To Christians around the world,
I write today with a heavy heart on behalf of countless families in Nigeria whose suffering is often overlooked. This is not about politics or attention. it is about children who have lost their parents, widows who have lost their husbands, and communities shattered by violence.
Recently, reports emerged of an attack involving a Christian school in Oyo State. What should have been a place of learning became a place of fear. While many children around the world celebrated Children’s Day with joy, some Nigerian children spent that same period in fear, grief, and uncertainty.
In our camp, we see the pain that headlines cannot fully capture. I remember a young boy who sat near the entrance every evening, waiting for his mother. He believed she would come for him, not knowing she had been killed. I remember a little girl who asked every night, “Did anyone find my daddy today?” Eventually, she stopped asking. not because she understood, but because hope was fading.
These stories are not rare. Many children have become orphans overnight. Many carry wounds that cannot be seen. They struggle with fear, trauma, and loss while the world moves on to the next headline.
Scripture tells us, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26). Yet many of these families feel forgotten. This is not just Nigeria’s burden. These are human lives created in the image of God.
Despite their suffering, I have met believers whose faith remains unshaken. Widows still worship. Orphans still sing hymns. Families who have lost everything still proclaim that Christ is Lord. Their faith is a testimony to God’s sustaining grace.
Today, I ask for three things: pray, remember, and stand with the persecuted Church. Pray for grieving families, vulnerable children, pastors serving in dangerous areas, and all those living with the scars of violence. Pray that God will comfort the brokenhearted and strengthen those who suffer for His name.
Please do not forget these children. Do not forget these families. Behind every statistic is a face, a name, and a story. May the Church of Jesus Christ continue to remember and support its suffering brothers and sisters wherever they may be.
May God comfort the brokenhearted, defend the innocent, and strengthen His people. Amen.
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." – Revelation 1:3

Nigerian Christians sing at the burial of their loved ones who were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists.
They sing that they are “Trusting in the Lord Jesus.”
Christians are being murdered & driven from the land in the ongoing genocide in northern Nigeria - carried out with the same goals shared by every Islamic terrorist group in the world.
