An Iraqi man has shared how being kidnapped and held at gunpoint transformed his relationship with God.
Emad from Baghdad told SAT-7’s We Grew Together about the terrifying ordeal in which he was blindfolded, tied up and seized along with six other men, including two of his wife’s brothers.
Emad was raised in a Christian family but said he did not have a personal faith before the kidnapping.
In his desperation, Emad cried out to God: “You pray and only remember God who can save you from this situation… He holds you and takes you by the hand.”
