Thanks again to DC Talk and Voice of the Martyrs for this testimony from the Philippines taken from their book "Jesus Freaks".
During a riot among inmates in a Philippino Prison Jackie Hamill of Australia and another girl were taken hostage and raped. Jackie remained calm and "radiantly focused on Jesus", singing hymns and presenting the gospel. One of the inmates who was rioting threw down his gun and committed his life to Jesus then. She was later shot in a shouut out between the prisoners and the soldiers, but she died singing and praying.
Lord, thank you for testimonies such as these which stir our hearts and spirits and build our kingdom understanding. We pray that you might be continuing the work you started through Jackie and through this inmate. May your word be spreading through his cellmates, guards, enemies, friends, family and any children he has. Amen.
