Hi All, “Their intention is to take the children away from us, to convert them… Our children will only suffer.” These were Professor Tarfa’s words to me late on Friday night, after he learned that several of his children are to be transferred to unknown rural locations. If we don’t act now he fears he’ll never see them again. Thanks to your campaigning and prayers, Professor Tarfa, the co-founder of Du Merci orphanage, was released on bail in December 2020, after almost a year in pre-trial detention. The professor is facing false charges of child abduction, and appears to have been targeted for running a Christian orphanage. Worse still, they’ve traumatised the children of the orphanage he founded with his wife, Mercy. Sixteen of the children – the youngest just four years old – have been kept in a government-run home against their will for over a year. They have been beaten, underfed, and one is in hospital with first degree burns to the face, hands, body, and legs after a fire broke out in the government-run home. It’s clear the children must be returned home immediately. Join us also to pray We’re hosting an urgent online prayer meeting with Professor Tarfa and his wife, Mercy, this Wednesday night from 8-9pm (GMT). Please join us to show them they are supported by their family around the world. Once you’ve taken action you’ll be sent details of the prayer meeting. You can also get the meeting details here. Spread the word Please forward this to anyone who you think can also take action. Time is of the essence. On behalf of the Tarfa family, thank you. Dave |
