So very sad. Her face was lifted to heaven as a saint and met with a horrible act of violence in response, when the lustful monster was refused. I'm so sorry to hear this is a true story, may God bless her and heal her. Was this recent?

Thank you, Paige. This young lady was impactful. She spoke at our church on the way to a Texas hospital. Incident happened in Pakistan.
