Proof The Bible Is True

There was a day when not long ago when Christian farming communities in northeastern Nigeria were self-reliant. But the violent rise of Boko Haram has changed all that.

 

One local family’s farm was big and productive enough to provide for all their needs and even give work to others. When Boko Haram attacked the village, militants set the property and family home on fire. Sadly, the father was still inside and he eventually died from the injuries he suffered.

 

As the oldest of seven, responsibility for providing for the family fell to their daughter, Rhoda. “Life has not been easy for us. Things are very, very difficult now,” Rhoda acknowledges. After the fire, the family wasn’t given time to grieve. They had to quickly move away from the village and settled in a larger town nearby, where they began searching for a way to survive.

 

Over time, the family’s food supply food became scarcer and scarcer. “Some organizations did bring help to people,” Rhoda recalls, “but the Muslims just shared it among themselves.”

 

Thankfully, help was on the way however.

 

With the help of the local church, Open Doors identified the most desperate of families to help with at least two months of food aid. Rhoda’s family was among them.
