A friend of mine recounts the story:
The African believer’s teen daughter is raped multiple times by guerilla soldiers. The resultant pregnancy. The shame she faces in her culture because she is now considered "damaged goods." Shunned by friends. Looking toward a future without hope. But then, the Spirit of God begins to do a work that is humanly impossible. She forgives. She changes. She becomes a beautiful young mom. She is free. And, yes, a young man asks for her hand in marriage.
That's the power of redemption in one of the most difficult situations ever.
