PRAY for Christian women and girls in Nigeria! ICC recently spoke to one mother and her 16-year-old daughter, who were victims of an attempted rape in Nigeria. Thankfully, they survived, but not without injury.
The mother shared, "I have nothing to say but thank God. Please tell Christians to pray for me and my daughter."
Terrorists, like the Fulani militants and Boko Haram, target schools and villages and kidnap young girls to convert to Islam. Women, viewed as the source of the next generation, are sold as brides (or child brides).
ICC is assisting the mother and her teenage daughter as they get back on their feet.
