I think I read last night that the city had been surrounded.
I am so sorry for all these deaths at the hands of terrorists.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to live over there and be at the hands of this terror group.

I hope there is a plan to get rid of boko haram like there is to get rid of ISIS.

Correct, but remember it has been said that martyrs are the seed of the Church. I find these times very interesting - on one hand we have the Church in turmoil with dissidents seeking to destroy her teaching and on the other, silent witnesses, strong in their faith and love of Christ to the point of death. What a contrast. As Satan increases his activity, so does Christ increase His grace.
