Summary

SummaryI still remember the fear that gripped me when I was taken from my village at just 13β€¦πŸ˜’ Every night I dreamed they would return for me, and I couldn’t pray aloud for fear of death. But God gave me strength and a plan to escape under cover of darkness. πŸŒ²πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ After five days of running and hiding, we reached safetyβ€”and I knew He had not abandoned me. Now I ask you to pray for my healing and peace of mind πŸ™, for my family’s provision, and for every Christian in Burkina Faso facing persecution.
