I would love to see a group of westerners, myself included to go and serve desperately needed armed protection for these innocent children and staff so they could have some kind of life other than to fear being swallowed up by this evil that is constantly facing them! Yes we need to be in prayer for them as often as it crosses our thoughts!

I think about this often. How can I get there acquire weapons, and help defend them without ending up in a Nigerian prison? I have not found a viable way yet unless I’m connected to our government or theirs.

It is a sad thing to know that this evil continues and we feel helpless because of government interference whether it be ours or theirs. But yet we must pray and not cease praying for those who live in fear every day!

Muslims doing what their Quran teaches and commands them to do! Not exactly news!

Hi Keith,

Thank you for writing this report with compassion. '... security work is not about fear. It is about obedience.'

Keith, your sad and alarming news calls all of us to follow the leading of the Spirit of God to do whatever He calls us to in this situation, call our Congressional leaders for some kind of response (legal and Scriptural), continue to pray for these children's safety and return to their famiies, write the White House with righteous anger and clear support for the President's action, and continue or Sentinel ministries here in America. May God deal with the terrorists!

I believe that President Trump should respond to the kidnappings with armed force. But I don't know what would allow us to do that. I'm sure that we would need their governments approval. I'm not sure of what restrictions on action, regions, engagement, time, all that and more that would be involved in taking such action.

This is what the UN is for, even though, we in the U.S. lead the UN when it does make moves in the world, we are the UN!!!.... We have always had allied nations with us, in military operations, ie, Britian and France, and this is one for a joint force under the UN flag to move in quickly in that rat hole of a country and take out these animals.

Tomorrow morning, after your Church's worship service, ask your pastor (supposedly your shepherd) why he never mentions things like this, or if he is even informed about them.

The hireling of our Bible Church boasts that he doesn't read the news. ("Jesus only," you see. Sunday morning is not for "equipping the saints;" it's for escaping reality.)

Not every problem is the American government's to solve. American donors and volunteers can do far more good in this and almost every other trouble spot around the world than yet another too-brief and predictably-doomed U.S. government program. If you want to help, Concilium (concilium.us) is a charity that brings actual security help to persecuted Christians in various trouble spots.
