Summary

SummaryI live in the Far North of Cameroon, where Boko Haram extremists strike so often that no one dares sleep in their home at night. Every evening, we carry our few belongings and climb higher into the mountains, sleeping in holes with snakes and lions all around. πŸ₯Ί One night, I returned to my village to find that they had stolen everythingβ€”my clothes, my tools, every little thing that helped me survive. My heart filled with bitterness and anger; I couldn’t breathe. Why had they taken it all?

We had no choice but to flee to Makolo town. Life here is a struggle. 🏚️ The children cannot go to school, and when they fall sick, there is no money for the hospital. We must now buy water and firewoodβ€”things we once gathered freely back home. The cost weighs heavy on us.

Thanks to your prayers and the faithful work of Open Doors local partners, we have received emergency aid, trauma care, and pastoral visits. Their help gives me hope. πŸ™ Morning and evening, I pray to God, and on Sundays, I cling to worship in the church. I trust that in time, the violence will calm, and survivors like me will know peace again. Even in the midst of displacement and loss, God’s faithfulness sustains us. ✨

Where Ali* lives, in the Far North of Cameroon, Boko Haram militants attack so frequently that villagers pack up their things and spend every night in the mountains. Thanks to your prayers, Ali and his community have received aid from local Open Doors partners.
