#BringBackOurGirls There have been people posting the names of the girls that were kidnapped in Nigeria. Some have decried that, saying that it could put the girls in more danger and also stigmatize them if they are found and the Boko Haram have raped them. Here is a link that has the names and a call to pick a name and pray. In the name of keeping the girls safe but also picking a name to pray for, I’ve chosen Mairama Y. as the girl for whom I’ll be praying.
