Nigeria: Teenager Agnes shares about her kidnapping
Open Doors Youth, PO Box 6, Witney, Oxon, UK, OX29 6WG
We serve Christians around the world whose brave faith in Jesus means they are, beaten, threatened, imprisoned, tortured, falsely accused, disowned and hated.
Agnes was 14 when she was kidnapped by Islamic extremists Boko Haram in #Nigeria. She was held for two years. After she escaped, her village rejected her – but, thanks to your gifts and prayers, Open Doors is supporting her and her community with much-needed trauma care. Watch her tell her story in the video…
PRAY NOW...
1
For Agnes’ continued healing, that her family and community will come to accept her and all that she’s been through
3
For an end to the kidnapping endemic that is sweeping across Nigeria and West Africa.
2
That all women, girls and men being held in captivity would know God’s presence with them, and that they’d be released swiftly
