3 days to #Day1000 of Our #ChibokGirls Captivity.



This morning, we have a bit of good news: 




Another one of the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamist Boko Haram insurgents in April 2014 has been rescued near Sambisa Forest, a government source told a correspondent of SaharaReporters. Our sources disclosed that a girl named Rakiya Abubakar was found with her baby by Nigerian troops of the 27 Brigade around Alagarno area near Ajigin in Domboa Local Government area. Rakiya will be the 29th of the more than 200 girls to be rescued from Boko Haram fighters.

Rakiya will be the 25th of the more than 200 girls to be rescued from Boko Haram fighters.


This means 25 of our #Chibok Girls were rescued from Boko Haram,  We add these young women to the 57 who previously escaped from Boko Haram captivity, making 82. 

We hope this news is confirmed as true and warrants us taking one more young woman out of the 196 in captivity, leaving 195 that we are praying and hoping are rescued. 

See you at 4pm on Sunday, January 8, 2017 at The House of The Lord Church.  Here below is the Draft Program
