ourselves, our families and friends with the blood of Jesus and declare that no weapon fashioned against our youth shall prosper! Sadly, it’s not business as usual any more, where we condemn each atrocity , then wait for the next death or stab incident. Let us start declaring daily over our land that the devil is a liar. No more of our youths will be killed in Jesus Name, Amen
