From Captivity to Courage: Jolie Nabigondo’s Story of Survival and Faith (Part 1)
Most of us can only imagine the horrors of war, but for many around the world, it is daily reality. Jolie Nabigondo, born and raised in Congo, has lived through what she calls not a war, but a genocide. Like the Holocaust of World War II, the ethnic cleansing in her homeland has taken countless innocent lives and left unimaginable trauma in its wake.
In this week’s episode, Jolie courageously shares the first part of her story about what happened when she was captured by those who despised her for how she looked. For nearly a year, she was held in darkness, starved, stripped of dignity, and haunted by what she witnessed. Her story is one of pain, loss, and the struggle to trust God in the midst of deep suffering.
Yet even in the darkest moments, God was not absent. This week, Jolie invites us into the raw reality of her captivity—and next week, she will share how God brought her into profound healing and freedom.
