John 16:2 Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
A Nigerian pastor whose daughter was stoned to death by the Islamic group Boko Haram says that he is “grateful” to know that she stood up for Christ until the end.
“I was told that my daughter refused to change her religion. I was told that they dug a hole and buried her from the neck and stoned her to death,” Pastor Enoch Mark said. “To die for the sake of Christ, that’s the happiest thing for me. I’m grateful that she didn’t change her religion. She trust[ed] in God.”
Pastor Mark was told of his daughter’s martyrdom by a 17-year-old girl named Miriam who escaped from her captors.
“I believe she died with dignity. Monica is now in heaven because she refused to convert,” Pastor Mark’s wife told the BBC.
The girl who told the pastor is one of the girls that informed western leaders that Boko Haram is forcing the kidnapped girls to carry out killings and bombings. Miriam told the BBC that they were trained to kill on captured Christians.
“They were Christian men. They [Boko Haram militants] forced the Christians to lie down. Then the girls cut their throats.”
Thank God for this girl’s amazing courage! I wonder if I could respond the same, were I in her situation. May the Good Lord give us all strength to face whatever horrors are to come. John Phillips

This article brought instant tears to my eyes. BUT THE GOOD THING IS SHE IS IN HEAVEN! The BIBLE says so. So hard to see all of what is going on. Even though it’s GOD’S plan, it still is hard.
