Summary
Martin and Gracia Burnham were serving as missionaries in the Philippines when they went away for a few days together to celebrate their anniversary. Those few days turned into a year in the jungle when they were kidnapped by radical Muslim terrorists. Listen to this exclusive VOM Radio interview as Gracia tells how she wrestled with God and even with her own faith during those dark days of captivity, and how she experienced the prayers of God's people, even as Martin was killed during a rescue attempt. Gracia bears witness to God's faithfulness to the Burnhams and their children. Her story challenges each of us to glorify God regardless of what trials we may be facing.
