Saved

Little Arewa

The Arewa family sure have a new song to sing. But for the mercy of God,  the entire family would have been wiped out.  The hymn Saved, Saved by Jack P. Scholfield seems an appropriate everyday song. 

I’ve found a Friend, who is all to me,
His love is ever true;
I love to tell how He lifted me
And what His grace can do for you.
Refrain:
Saved by His pow’r divine,
Saved to new life sublime!
Life now is sweet and my joy is complete,
For I’m saved, saved, saved!
He saves me from every sin and harm,
Secures my soul each day;
I’m leaning strong on His mighty arm;
I know He’ll guide me all the way.

Mother and surviving child in the hospital

Tina Arewa's family was attacked in Nandu Village by Fulani Herdsmen March 16 2019. On sighting the evil men, she asked her children to run to safety. In escaping from the invaders she took a bullet to her chest and played dead with her surviving son. That night she  lost her 5 month old, 5 year old and 9 year old.
They lost their home after it was set ablaze. One of her children was caught in the inferno and was burnt to death. It was indeed a harrowing experience for that family. 

Their home after the inferno

The Arewas had relocated to a nearby village while the rebuilding process was on. On the day their new home was handed over to her, tears flowed freely as it brought back memories of that dark night. Neighbors who had not seen her for months hugged her and muttered words of encouragement.

A  worship service was held a few weeks ago that brought all the villagers together. The affirmed their love to God and remained resolute in rebuild their lives.
