Mary's Story
For 54 days, Mary was held captive by extremist Fulani militants in northwest Nigeria. She was raped, repeatedly. Mocked for her faith. Forced to cook for her captors while she had only animal food to eat.
Even after her release, 20-year-old Mary was traumatized. “Every night, I dreamed of what happened to me,” she said.
I thank God for the peace he brings
Mary came to Open Doors’ trauma care center where she started to heal. But sadly, this faithful young woman recently died from complications relating to surgery.
Her family wanted her story to be heard. We remember Mary’s words of hope in her final interview with us: “I thank God for the peace he brings.”
