Faithful Through the Fire: Nigeria’s Resilient Christian Widows

Rebeccah’s husband was shot to death by Boko Haram militants in 2014 while he was walking to church one day. At the time, Rebeccah was pregnant with their fifth child. After the militants destroyed the family’s village in the attack, Rebecca didn’t know what Ruthhappened to her missing husband. It wasn’t until three days later that she discovered his body in a morgue. Shortly after her husband’s murder, Rebeccah’s faith wavered and she struggled to provide basic necessities for her growing children. Yet, after receiving months of Biblically based trauma counselling, as well as opportunities to process her pain with other surviving Christians, Rebeccah’s faith has thankfully been restored.
