Summary

SummaryI never imagined the night our village went darkβ€”my children vanished as guns roared in Guyaku. My heart pounded as we fled into the hills, hiding in a cave, unsure if life remained. Days passed in agony until a call told me they were alive in a nearby town. Tears of relief fell when we reunited, but the horror lingered in their eyes. Through trauma care from Open Doors partners, I learned to guide broken hearts back to hope. I sat with a young girl drawing a gun, ready for revengeβ€”then reminded her Jesus calls us to forgive. That moment, forgiveness bloomed in our souls, and we found peace again. πŸ™πŸ’”βž‘οΈβ€οΈπŸ™Œ

Your prayers and support have been a light in the darkness to believers like Charity from Nigeria. She was able to receive trauma healing after her village, Guyaku in northern Nigeria, was attacked by Islamic militants Boko Haram. And now, she herself is shining a light for others who have suffered trauma by offering them counselling.
