Summary

SummaryI am Amina from Nigeria, and by His grace, I am alive! πŸ™ Two times Boko Haram stormed my homeβ€”men with weapons, my husband tied up and executed, my father slaughtered before my eyes. I thought my life would end, but the moment the knife touched my neck, I began praying Psalm 23: β€œThe Lord is my shepherd… I shall not want.” Miraculously, I felt no painβ€”only a strange dizzinessβ€”and I lost consciousness. When I woke, I found myself among other captives, taken across borders into hardship, hunger, and trauma. Yet in the darkness, we refused to deny Christ. πŸ•ŠοΈ Today, I kneel in my room each morning, singing: β€œBy His grace, I am alive, that’s why I’m singing, Jehovah saved my life!” 🎢 Open Doors Canada cared for us, showing God’s love in our suffering. Through prayer, faith, and His unending mercy, I stand here a living witness that our Savior truly delivers and restores. ❀️

There are many others that face captivity today, just like Amina did. Sign the petition for Nigerian captives: https://www.opendoorscanada.org/petition/

Amina survived two brutal attacks by Boko Haram. She lost her husband, saw her kids suffer, and suffered much herself. Despite all of this, she sings “By His grace, I am alive, that’s why I’m singing, Jehovah saved my life”.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
