With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Earlier this month, 280 students age 8 to 15 were abducted in the northern Nigerian town of Curaga.

Boca Haram and Islamic group has long terrorized this region. in of whom were Christian. Though no one's claimed responsibility for this recent kidnapping, it's the latest in a long line

of abuse under a complicit Nigerian government and an all-too-silent global community in the face

of what some are calling Nigeria's silent slaughter.

Last year there were 3,600 reported abductions in Nigeria.

According to a 2022 Red Cross report, more than 24,000 Nigerians are missing.

In other words, there's already been enough wake-up calls,

both for the Nigerian government and for the wider world.

The abducted and their families need more than just lip service.

They need our prayers, and they need real action from the government

and the global community. For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
