Summary

SummaryI am Leah’s mother, and I still remember the day Boko Haram fighters took my daughter from her classroom in Dapchi when she was just fourteen. For months, I prayed ferventlyβ€”believing that our God moves mountainsβ€”holding onto the promise of her return. As May 14 approaches and Leah turns twenty in captivity, my heart aches yet remains steadfast. Each morning I ask you to lift her up in prayer: that she feels God’s grace and encouragement, and that He would grant her freedom soon. πŸ™πŸ’”πŸ‘‘

Leah Sharibu was one of over 100 girls who were kidnapped in 2018. While most of the captives were freed within a month, Leah was forced to remain behind – simply because she refused to give up her identity as a follower of Jesus. Open Doors recently visited her parents.

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.
