The Christian Chronicle reported that 11 girls from Churches of Christ were among the students abducted from a boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria. The report said nearly 300 students were taken from the school in total.

The report’s source material is brief and does not give further details about the girls, their families or the circumstances of the abduction. It was published on May 30, 2014, and was written by Erik Tryggestad, the Christian Chronicle’s president and CEO.

The girls’ abduction left their families and congregations facing an uncertain situation, a reminder of the vulnerability of young people caught in violence (Psalm 82:3).
