More than 360 people abducted during a deadly March attack by Boko Haram militants in Borno state have been released after months in captivity.

Nigerian authorities say the military rescued the captives from a militant hideout. However, local leaders insist that private negotiations secured their freedom – not the government.

“It looks like this situation may be the government using it as PR,” says Greg Musselman with The Voice of the Martyrs Canada. “I hope that’s not the truth. But there just seems to be credibility, for example, from the Borno South Youth Alliance – of course, Borno State is where this happened in Nigeria – saying, ‘No, we were the ones that were conversing with those groups that had done this.'”

Either way, Musselman says, “These families are now being reunited. We know, of course, that’s not where things end in terms of getting back to normal. There’s just a lot of heartache and trauma and all those things that are involved. But we are grateful for that [release].”

These ongoing attacks by radical Muslim groups highlight a larger problem that plagues Nigeria.

“There’s misinformation that’s saying, ‘Well, both Christians and Muslims are also suffering from the insurgency,’ says Musselman. “Yes, Muslims are suffering because groups like Boko Haram and ISIS as well in the west part of Africa are also targeting anybody that doesn’t go along with their ideology. But Christians are targeted.

“You see groups like the Boko Haram that have clearly stated that part of their goal is to go after the Christians. So they target the churches, the Christian villages, the pastors, and other religious leaders, and really the group’s ideology historically has identified Christians as the primary target.”

The threat has evolved over the years as Boko Haram splintered and other extremist groups gained influence.

“They have become more radicalized, and it’s not just the Boko Haram. There have been split-off groups of the Islamic State West Africa Province. ISIS, of course, [has] networks all around the world. So their resources are greatly increased.”

Musselman says Christians can rejoice with families welcoming loved ones home while remembering that many others remain in captivity.

Pray for healing from trauma, protection for vulnerable communities, and wisdom for Nigerian leaders. Pray also for Muslim extremists to stop the violence and embrace Christ as Savior.

A Rapid Support Forces commander known as “the butcher of El Fasher” is reportedly out of prison and back in combat, boosting morale among rebel forces and spreading fear among survivors.

The RSF detained Brigadier General al-Fateh Abdullah Idris, known as Abu Lulu, after multiple social media videos showed him committing atrocities against unarmed civilians in the fallout from last year’s battle for El Fasher.

The trauma inflicted by Abu Lulu and others demonstrates how citizens pay the heaviest price of Sudan’s civil war.

Neither of the warring sides offers protection or help, and aid workers cannot reach starving communities. John of Greater Reach Alliance explains, “There are no safe corridors for humanitarian aid access inside Sudan right now.”

If Sudanese people cross into a neighboring country, they still struggle to find food, clean water, and shelter. “This is not only in refugee camps, but in Sudan itself, because basic infrastructure has been destroyed,” John says.

“Water systems, electricity – all the things that make up a functioning civil society have been destroyed.”

Hope amid loss

Sudan’s civil war began in April 2023. Since then, at least 59,000 people have lost their lives, and 30 million Sudanese require support to survive.

Church planters supported by GRA offer biblical trauma healing and targeted relief aid. “There’s only one source of healing that we can offer them, and it is the Gospel,” John says.

In dozens of locations, GRA teams encounter Sudanese refugees and displaced families who are desperate for hope. “People are deeply, deeply exhausted, and they’re living under constant fear,” John says.

“They carry such deep trauma from the loss of family, of home, and dignity. This trauma is shaping their daily lives and how they view the future.”

Even in places marked by fear, loss, and displacement, the Lord is drawing people to Himself and bringing His peace.

More than 300 graduates from GRA’s school of mission and 28 church-planting teams are serving Sudanese people in refugee camps in three countries. During every encounter, believers offer the compassion of Christ.

John says the response to believers’ kindness often goes something like this: “We’ve been told Christians were evil. How can you love us like this? We’ve been taught to hate you.”

How to help

UNHCR’s 2026 appeal describes Sudan’s war as the world’s largest displacement, humanitarian, and protection crisis. While humanitarians struggle to raise the funding needed to address needs en masse, you can help Sudanese people directly through GRA.

Your gifts enable Gospel workers to meet physical and spiritual needs. Although it’s primarily a church-planting ministry, GRA’s targeted relief efforts include food, shelter, and medicine as the Lord provides.

“God has miraculously opened the door for us. Even though these ministries weren’t our wheelhouse, God has said, ‘Yes, I’ll be with you,’ and He is,” John says.

“Pray that God would bring into our hands the means to provide food and shelter. We’ve done that many times,” he continues.

“The shelter is a tarp over their head, because that’s all we had, but they’re sitting in the middle of the sun in some of these areas – that’s 110 degrees.”

Pray that the Sudanese people will surrender their lives to Jesus as they encounter Him through the GRA teams. Pray they will accept the Gospel as truth.

“We’ve had our tragedies, and there will be tragedies to come. How do we as Christians get through them? It’s because the Gospel is true,” John says.

Abduction isn’t the only threat to Ukraine’s children. They face a daily combination of physical danger, repeated displacement, and unresolved family separations.

Greg Yoder of Keys for Kids Ministries says, among the families the ministry serves, “A lot of these kids already know Jesus, but they’re struggling because of the fear and anxiety that comes with war.”

New devotionals address trauma

Partners in Ukraine recently distributed 200,000 special-edition devotionals from Keys for Kids Ministries, designed to help children and young adults process trauma.

Yoder says the latest delivery “gets us close to a million copies that we placed in Ukraine since the war began.”

Developed by Keys for Kids Ministries and Mission Eurasia, the special-edition devotionals offer biblically grounded, trauma-focused material tailored to a Ukrainian context. Read more about the development process here.

Mission Eurasia’s team in Ukraine offered more than translation services. Ukrainian believers helped contextualize the Keys for Kids and Unlocked stories.

“We had some references to, I think, baseball. We had to pull those out and replace them with soccer,” Yoder says. “Things that would normally fit well in the United States just didn’t fit well in Ukraine.”

Nelia finds peace

Although they were distributed less than a month ago, the devotionals are already helping children like Nelia. “She has never known anything but war,” Yoder says.

“Her mother had a copy of the new Keys for Kids devotional, and she sat down with her (Nelia) and said, ‘Pick any story in it.’ [Nelia] picked the topic, ‘Medicine for Peace,’ [because] something about it spoke to her,” he continues.

The story features a little girl who couldn’t fall asleep because she was overcome by worry and fear. Her grandmother “helped her understand the true peace found in Christ alone,” Yoder says.

“When they finished, Nelia’s mother looked at her and tenderly said, ‘You see, we don’t have to be afraid all the time. We can rely on someone closer than a brother: Jesus Christ.’”

After a thoughtful moment, Yoder says Nelia “realized, yes, I don’t have to be in fear, because God is in control.”

Find your place in the story

According to Save the Children, children in Ukraine have endured approximately 4,000 hours of air-raid alarms since Russia invaded in 2022 — more than five and a half months of alerts. The sirens don’t scare Nelia anymore.

“The book pointed her to where she needed to place her hope,” Yoder says.

You can help children and teens find hope and peace in Jesus by supporting Keys for Kids Ministries’ work in Ukraine.

“Camps are coming up this summer, and obviously, the supply that we provided will probably cover that, but I don’t know if they’ll have enough for Christmas outreach or back-to-school outreach,” Yoder says.

As you pray for these efforts, Yoder asks you to remember Ukrainian pastors. “Pray for the pastors because they’re tired,” he says.

“Imagine every day having to be ‘on’ with no rest, [and] bombings, missiles, drone attacks daily.”

Many kids are traumatized by the sights and sounds of war. Yet they often take their cues from their parents on how to respond, says Pierre Houssney with Horizons International.

Depending on their background, the influence of a child’s parents can be an anchor or an added push toward fearful responses. Houssney explains that many in his generation grew up in Lebanon’s civil war and carry trauma.

“Their hands will shake, and their breathing will change, and you’ll see them visibly experience fear whenever there are sounds of war going on around them,” he says. “And kids are uniquely gifted in picking up on those things.”

In contrast, Houssney didn’t grow up in Lebanon during the civil war and doesn’t carry those same marks. These days, he and his children hear airstrikes, drones, and sonic booms near their home in Lebanon.

“They’re aware of what’s going on. They understand the seriousness of it, but at the same time, they are not showing signs of being traumatized or too fearful about it,” he says. It’s a gift from God that he knows could easily change.

“If we lived in a different location that was closer to where airstrikes were happening, it could be a totally different situation,” he adds. “There are people who have had strikes in their building or strikes in their neighborhood, and had the dust of air strikes come down and settle on them, and they’re breathing it, and they’re seeing the people running and screaming and things like that. It’s a very, very difficult situation.”

Please pray for children in Lebanon to find the true source of strength.

“We are simply trying to do our best to help other people in this situation, through the trauma, through the physical needs and the spiritual needs,” says Houssney.

“Be praying for spiritual renewal, for repentance, for connection with God, that God’s healing would go out throughout the region.”

Pray also that world leaders would take steps to build peace across the world, “because if no world powers intervene when these wars are happening, then they’re just going to continue happening,” says Houssney.

In Israel, the trauma runs deep.

“Iran continues to launch its ballistic missiles and hit Israeli cities. Many people live in kind of an anxiety-filled environment,” says Pavel Shifman, Trans World Radio’s director for Israel. 

In the weeks since Israel and the United States attacked Iran on February 28, Israel has also received missile strikes from Iranian proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon and, most recently, Houthi rebels in Yemen. 

“The situation of the war is not something unusual for the Israelis. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, it has been going through a major war or conflict every 10 years,” says Shifman. 

“But the interesting part is that Israel did not start those conflicts. [Yet] Israel always won those conflicts.” He ascribes these victories to God protecting the Jewish people and fulfilling Old Testament prophecies where He promises to gather His people back to the land.

In this latest conflict, the TWR Israel team says many people have stopped responding to sirens, “because they can’t handle the stress of running to bomb shelters three, four, five [times] a day or night,” says Shifman. 

“They haven’t slept well during the last 30 days because Iran deliberately attacks the civilian population and shoots missiles like every other hour. So some people just decide to stay at home, and whatever happens, happens.” 

TWR Israel on the move

With Passover being celebrated this week, it’s a critical time to be praying for the Jewish people. 

“We want to show them who Yeshua is, who Jesus is,” says Shifman. “Israel lives in kind of a two-name reality. They never pronounce His name correctly. In fact, they refer to Him in history as ‘that man.’”

“Yeshua” means “salvation.” But many Jews refer to Jesus as “Yeshu.” Shifman explains that “Yeshu” is “basically a curse that says, ‘may his name be wiped out from our tradition and our history.’ They don’t even understand that, but that’s how things developed over the years.”

TWR Israel’s team shares the gospel of Christ through social media channels, Bible distribution, and Zoom calls with people who are interested in learning more about the Bible, Jesus, and faith. 

Shifman says the Zoom study calls are important because, “According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 43% of Israelis identify themselves as secularists. They don’t believe in the Bible. We need to bring the reality of God into their lives, to connect all the dots and bits and pieces and show them that their God is there.”

Isaiah 53 and Jeremiah 31 are key passages, Shifman says, that point to the Messiah and to the New Testament (or new covenant). 

Pray for Israel

Pray for open hearts among the Jewish people to Christ the Messiah, especially during Passover celebrations, which have many signs that point to Jesus. 

Shifman adds another prayer request: “The rise of anti-Semitism is really high these days. We want people to change their attitude towards the Jewish people, and see how God loves His people, and so we do too, especially as believers and followers [of Christ].”

On Wednesday, Israel struck Iran’s South Pars gas field. Iran responded on Thursday with strikes across the Gulf region, which included a gas facility at Qatar’s Ras Laffan plant. These events have made crude oil prices even more volatile. 

As the economic impacts of the war spread across the world, so do the psychological and human costs. Fadi Sharaiha from the MENA Leadership Center recognizes people growing numb to living under sirens, missiles, and drone strikes. 

“This is what we call the mechanism of defense for people. If you are going through a trauma, what happens is you justify the trauma, or you normalize it,” he says. “This is really a dangerous I would say ‘mental health’ concern that I have for people.”

The numbers surrounding this war keep rising, yet Sharaiha notes, “The first casualty in a war is truth. So nobody knows really the numbers, or what is really happening on the ground.” 

Even with the mass of data in Middle East news reports, the fact remains that every person who has been killed was made in God’s image, as well as every person displaced or suffering any kind of loss. 

“For me, those are not numbers. Those are faces. Those are people who are created in God’s image. They have aspiration, goals, feelings, emotions. They want to live their lives,” says Sharaiha. 

Find your place in the story

As Christians watch the news and pray, Sharaiha urges us to think personally, “to have a face to the number.”

“Please pray for the peace in the Middle East,” he says. “Pray for those people who are being displaced — like 1 million people in Lebanon.”

Pray for endurance for Christians in the Gulf region. This is so important, because Sharaiha says, “It’s very easy to lose focus and faith whenever you’re going through a trauma, war, or conflict.” 

Also, pray a big-picture prayer! Ask God to use His people around the world to speak the true hope of Christ in significant ways during the Middle East conflict. This is tied to what Sharaiha calls “the prophetic voice” of the Church. 

“That [prophetic voice] is not politics. We need to go back to peace-building, reaching the unreached, loving people, and making sure that we are available for people to help and support,” he says. 

In early March, the MENA Leadership Center’s most recent online training was attended by students whose countries were being bombed in the newly-begun US-Israel-Iran war. Sharaiha says future courses will include an introduction to refugee ministry and a course on conflict resolution. 

“We are trying to respond to whatever is happening today, on the ground of people going through war, going through trauma, going through bad times,” he says.

Nearly two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, Americans are asking if — and how — the conflict with Iran could escalate.

Steve Prince with Warriors Set Free (a program of Set Free Ministries) says no matter what happens politically, the veterans and service members he’s spoken with are committed to fighting evil.

“The mindset of the warrior comes down to, is there a threat? And are we willing to engage the threat?” Prince says, “For combat veterans, no matter where the combat is, we know the price that’s being paid when you step toe-to-toe with evil. I was in a veteran group earlier this morning, and one of them said, ‘I’m ready to go. Sign me up.'”

Programs like Warriors Set Free work with veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders who carry the lasting weight of those experiences. The ministry helps them process trauma through biblical counseling and community with other warriors.

“Warriors Set Free is a secure environment for warriors, combat veterans, [and] non-combat veterans to talk through their stuff, address it biblically, and find freedom. And I’ll tell you this: it works every time,” says Prince. “God never fails. His promises are true, and we get to have a front row seat of seeing what God does in the lives of some of America’s best and brightest, because they’ve suffered that trauma on our behalf.”

Prince explains the reality of evil is something most veterans understand deeply.

“Nobody really disagrees that evil exists,” he says. “The conversations and the disagreements are what we do about it. And in my opinion, doing nothing is a horrible plan.

“So we need to fight evil. It comes at a heavy price, and Warriors Set Free is specifically designed to help the warrior, military veteran, and first responder unpack their pain, find peace in it, and get healing from it that only comes through Jesus Christ.”

As tensions remain high in the region, Prince encourages believers to pray for those currently in harm’s way.

“Pray as if it’s your own child over there. I have two friends who have sons in combat, so we’re praying for them by name. I also am praying for this to end quickly, for peace to thrive, and for good to overcome evil.”

“One aspect is, depending on your estimate, over a million men and women that have been killed or seriously injured [on both sides of the war]. That translates to maybe millions of families that no longer have a father,” says Mock. “It’s brutal to look at what this war has done to so many young lives, leaving the families broken and fractured.”

Children and adults carry invisible scars, the war within the war. 

“They’re going to be dealing with the horrifying sights and sounds that this war for four years has brought into their hearts and lives,” says Mock. “This trauma means that any political process for peace really is irrelevant when it comes to peace within the heart.” 

Although the United States has tried to broker a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, Mock says the fundamental differences between the two nations are land, authority, and control. 

“And also security guarantees,” he adds, “because they know an American president is a president for a limited time. So any peace agreement that they have may be transient or temporary.”

Please pray — but not only in the way you might think. 

“I am not going to ask you to pray for peace in Ukraine,” says Mock. “I’m going to ask you to pray for peace in the hearts of many Ukrainian families and many Russian families.” 

How the Ukrainian church is moving 

As peace talks concerning Russia and Ukraine continue to flash across daily headlines, Mock says the real question is this: “Both on the Ukrainian side and on the Russian side, will people caught up in the torment of this war turn to Christ and His saving grace?”

Relief and pastoral training are two of the ways that SGA helps Ukrainian Christians serve in this spiritual battle. Mock says compassion ministry builds bridges. 

“It is not about just having a warehouse full of compassion items that we’re distributing to people and feeling good about the distribution,” Mock explains. 

“It is equipping local churches to reach the people in their own community, or people who are fleeing to their community, that people would find lasting peace through the gospel of Jesus Christ.” 

You can help support this work by giving to SGA’s Ukraine Relief fund. In the past four years, SGA has helped churches provide more than 27 million meals, at least 500 generators, and thousands of blankets, heaters, medicines, and more. They estimate over 2.6 million people have heard the gospel who wouldn’t have otherwise.

Pastoral training is another critical need, so that when Ukrainians connect with a church, they will hear true, biblical teaching that helps them grow their faith. Mock says many pastors have fled Ukraine. Others have been conscripted into the army.

“They forecast as many as the need of 1,000 pastors in the next 10 years,” he says. “So SGA, in 19 locations across Ukraine, we’re taking the training to them, working through pastors and teachers in Ukraine, as well as some Americans coming over to teach. We’re trying to train up as many young people as possible.”

Their stated goal is to protect illegal immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Sixteen activists will soon face federal charges for assaulting officers or interfering with operations, and Attorney General Pam Bondi says she expects more arrests.

“We have great men and women in a tough spot [trying to] enforce laws put in place by our government for the protection of our people,” Steve Prince with Warriors Set Free says.

“Unfortunately, they have [people] working against them that make their job more difficult.”

As part of a major immigration enforcement effort called Operation Metro Surge, ICE agents were deployed to Minnesota’s Twin Cities weeks ago to enforce immigration law and arrest violators.

The deportation drive has met strong resistance from local leaders and communities, especially after controversial shootings during enforcement actions sparked widespread protests.

Prince says blowing whistles – the demonstrators’ favorite alert method – only serves to escalate tensions. “If we went to their workplace and just blew whistles constantly, that would probably be enough to drive them to make bad decisions,” he explains.

“So these people who are interfering believe they’re doing something right, but they’re really making a hard engagement even more stressful.”

Understanding ICE

ICE agents enforce immigration laws inside the U.S., carrying out arrests and deportations, investigating serious transnational and criminal activity, and coordinating with other agencies to uphold federal law.

Executing these duties often puts officers in high-risk situations. “When those agents are on the ground with a mission to do, they react to the conditions,” Prince says.

“If you could knock on someone’s door and they go, ‘Yeah, you’re right, I’m breaking the law; I’ll just get in the back of the car,’ then that officer doesn’t have the stress of having to go through a competition to see who gets their way.”

This continual exposure to stress takes a toll over time. “To be in a career where physical violence is sometimes required to do your job – that leads to deeper levels of trauma,” Prince explains.

“If you make a mistake, or if you hesitate, [you’re] in life-and-death situations.”

Hope and healing

Warriors Set Free, a division of Set Free, helps first responders find healing in Christ for job-related stress and trauma. Learn more here.

“We do a freedom appointment. It’s a one-day spiritual house cleaning,” Prince says.

“We set the conditions for them to be open and vulnerable because we’re cut from the same cloth. Military, law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency workers have a mentality that’s different than a normal civilian’s,” he continues.

“If you’ve ever been in a gunfight, you can understand a story from someone else who’s been in a gunfight better than if you’ve only seen it in movies.”

How to pray

Pray for the people who put themselves in harm’s way to protect U.S. communities. “Let’s cover both the ICE agents, law enforcement, in prayer, but let’s also pray for those who are in open rebellion and those who are supporting this rebellion,” Prince says.

“If the Holy Spirit moves in the hearts of those doing wrong, then it would make the job for law enforcement that much better.”

Pray against a spirit of fear in immigrant communities. Many fear the authorities because of images from Minneapolis and certain media narratives. However, as Romans 13 explains, individuals have nothing to fear when they’ve done nothing wrong.

“God put people in place to punish the wrongdoer, and without that, we would have full chaos and full anarchy. There are other cultures that live under constant chaos because they don’t have authorities in place to punish the evildoer,” Prince says.

“We’re extremely blessed that we have young men and women who continue to put on uniforms to protect us from evil, both foreign and domestic.”

These experiences leave mental and emotional scars that only Jesus can heal. Warriors Set Free, a division of Set Free, helps veterans and first responders find freedom in Christ.

“John 10:10 sums up what happens in a freedom appointment. Jesus says Satan – the thief – comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but He has come to give you life fully or abundantly,” Warriors Set Free Director Steve Prince says.

“It’s all about Jesus and destroying the work of the enemy.”

Hope and healing

Through one-day freedom appointments and four-day “Warriors Battle” freedom events, Warriors Set Free connects the hurting with the Healer. Learn more here.

After unpacking the trauma of their past, “More times than not, people will say, ‘I just feel lighter.’ One guy [said], ‘It literally is physical; I feel like I weigh less than I did when I came in here,’” Prince says.

“They feel the weight of the pain of the past, of all the trauma they’ve been carrying, and we get to see God heal their spirits and destroy the work of the devil.”

The ministry plans to host four “Warriors Battle” events in Michigan, Kentucky, and Georgia in 2026. “We have veterans come from all over the nation for those,” Prince says.

The new year also brings new territory for Warriors Set Free. Learn more here. “We have two women’s events for both female veterans and the wives of veterans, because they go to war too when we deploy,” Prince says.

“We’re honored to be a part of women getting involved and coming to know the Lord and getting healing from their past as well.”

Participants at both events follow a four-step healing process called “TRIP.” Learn more here.

“A friend of mine helped me develop an acronym, and it’s the word TRIP because I love the phrase, ‘Everybody’s on their own faith journey,’” Prince says. “So TRIP is truth, relationships, identity, and purpose.”

Volunteers play a vital role

Warriors Set Free depends on people like you to fulfill its calling. “The volunteer base is the strength of our mission,” Prince says.
