I picked Sicker Abdul. 
Her last name means “servant” in Arabic and I hope her first name is not a reflective of her first days on the earth. She’s been identified as a Christian. I don’t know her age.
She is one of the 180 girls named yesterday as among the students kidnapped from their school in Chibok, Nigeria on April 14th by Boko Haram. Although 276 girls are still reported missing, we only have 180 names. You can read more about the situation here.
The kidnappers are reportedly selling these girls for about $12 each to potential “husbands.”
Praying for 180 girls by name – much less 276 girls – is overwhelming to me and my pathetic commitment to prayer. But I can pray for one Nigerian schoolgirl. And I am asking you to pray for just one girl as well.
Please choose one name – one girl – and pray for her until she is found.
I picked Sicker Abdul. She’s my girl.
Who will you pick?
If it helps to hold you accountable, I invite you to share your choice in the comment section of this post. Thank you.

You see, Debra is my name, too. It is a powerful Biblical name, with a history and a heritage of leadership and honor and obedience to God. We share that heritage because of our names. I pray that God will raise these girls up with faith and strength just as He did Deborah in the Bible – to be courageous, to take a stand, and to show His Glory through the battle. ❤ #BringOurGirlsHome

They should be with their loving families and at school taking exams.

Hey there. Your intentions are, no doubt, very good and in the right place.
However, we should try to get the list of names removed. Here’s why: 1) They’re minors, and many of their parents and community leaders have neither given permission for their names to be spread and have specifically requested anonymity because 2) they could be stigmatized on return to the village (they’ve noted that “kidnapping” is too often assumed to mean “raped” in that part of the world, which makes the girls ineligible for marriage, which is a huge deal in Nigeria), and 3) names in Nigeria tell you whether someone is Christian or Muslim, and if one can identify each girl as such, they may single out the Christian girls for more abuse.

While it’s an admirable idea to be praying for/thinking of these girls by name and hoping for the most positive outcomes, it’s actually highly unethical for their names to be made public without their/their parents’ express consent and this would never be allowed in the US. Having their names be made public can negatively affect their futures in so many ways like making it more difficult to find future partners (because of the likelihood of them having been raped and the stigma that carries) or making it more likely they will be victimized again in the future. Please consider while posting lists of names.
LikeLike
Thanks for this, Kelsie. I’ve heard mixed info on this & not sure what to do about the names since they’ve gone viral. I read that the parents wanted the names published since the girls are now dispersed into as many as four other countries and it helps to find them. I am aware of the shaming potential too, but this is a narrative we need to change & my hope is that this is exactly the way to do that. Anyway any time we are responding to a political situation, there are complexities and risks in our responses. I am (perhaps foolishly?) trusting that God’s Spirit is connecting us to these girls and mysterious, supernatural, holy things are possible.
