About 3 days ago he was Kidnapped on the way from Kano to Kaduna in Nigeria...they asked for 15million naira ransom..then reduced to 10million...about $30,000. We prayed!!!!!
I just got this report:

Glory be to God, He has had mercy on us and shown Himself faithful to His word and mandate; our Student Missionary that was kidnapped days ago, Jinom Maikano was able to miraculously escape last night, he is with his family right now.

Thank you all for your love, prayer and concern; we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.... Our Lord and Lord of the harvest.

Dear brethren can you please pray for me . I have injured my knee badly in the last two days and finding it nearly impossible to walk on. The pain comes and goes in very sharp bursts which take my breath away. I am hoping to seek help from my doctor's surgery tomorrow morning.

The CT scan revealed a mature teratoma. Thanks for continued prayer. It means so much to have a global family who cares and joins us as we look to the Healer.

Romans 8:25‭-‬28 #TPT
So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.
And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.
So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.

Global prayer warriors, please continue to pray for my 10 year old daughter. We were sent for immediate CT scan following an ultrasound today. They were concerned about a large mass. I know that with God all things are possible. And, He has given so many reassurances through this trial. But, we are in need of prayer. My daughter, husband, 7 year old son, and myself. Thank you so very much! May God bless you.
