It Just Got Personal

To many this is just a picture of 5 women.
To me, it's the story of D.R.C. that rocked me most.

3 of these women were raped by rebel armies while going out to collect wood.
3 of these women were abandoned by their husbands and families because they were raped.
1 was raped by 5 men at once.
1 is 6 months pregnant.

2 of these women run a ministry called Jehovah Jireh.
2 of these women are seeking to provide housing, healing and hope to 15 women who are tragic victims of the D.R.C.'s continual conflict.

To many this is just a picture of 5 women.
To me, rape and the D.R.C. conflict now have names, faces, and stories.

It just got personal.
