John 15:5 (ESV) I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. May 11, 2014 Pray for… On Monday April 14th, at around 10pm, suspected members of Boko Haram swooped into Chibok, northern Nigeria, in seven Toyota pick-up trucks. Some of the attackers set government & other buildings ablaze, but others went to the senior secondary school where they overpowered the security guards before herding nearly 300 of the female students – all between the ages of 16 & 20 – into trucks. They then drove the girls deep into the nearby Sambisa forest. Some of the girls have escaped, but the remainder are still missing. These girls & their families need our prayers. Here are a few ways you can be praying: *For God’s miraculous protection for the girls *That they will experience His nearness & love in the midst of their suffering *That God will comfort the distraught parents, & for God’s grace to the church as they respond to their tragic circumstances *That Nigerian security forces will take swift, effective action to secure the girls’ safe release.
