Everyday thousands of children are being sexually abused. You can stop the abuse of at least one child by simply praying. You can possibly stop the abuse of thousands of children by forwarding the link in First Time Visitor? by email, Twitter or Facebook to every Christian you know. Save a child or lots of children!!!! Do Something, please!

3:15 PM prayer in brief:
Pray for God to stop 1 child from being molested today.
Pray for God to stop 1 child molestation happening now.
Pray for God to rescue 1 child from sexual slavery.
Pray for God to save 1 girl from genital circumcision.
Pray for God to stop 1 girl from becoming a child-bride.
If you have the faith pray for 100 children rather than one.
Give Thanks. There is more to this prayer here

Parents Doubt Deal to Release Captive Chibok Girls

Nigeria briefly celebrated the announcement that the 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram would be freed, but their release has been called into question. 


Their parents are skeptical after Boko Haram breached a ceasefire announced on Friday, killing dozens of people in five attacks over the weekend. 

"We were jubilating. We had every reason to be happy,” said Lawan Abana, one of the parents of the missing girls. “But since then the ceasefire has been broken in quite a number of places already.”

Boko Haram never confirmed the truce, but rather it was announced by a previously unknown negotiator, Danladi Ahmadu.

"Can we trust him that he can deliver on this promise of releasing the girls when he has not delivered on the promise of the ceasefire?” said Abana.

This would not be the first time Nigeria has negotiated with someone whom Boko Haram did not recognize as a legitimate representative. 

I can't decide whether the Nigerian government and military are completely hapless or completely sinister, or maybe both. But I hate what they are doing to the parents and friends of the missing girls. Someone should answer for these cruelties!
