A child abducted in 2014 was reunited with her parents on 9 June.
Christina Abada, then aged three, was taken at gunpoint from her mother’s arms by IS fighters. She was released by Iraqi Special Forces. There had been rumours for the first two years that she was alive, but these had dried up over the past 12 months. Her mother and family praised Jesus for her release.
Her plight had been kept in the minds of the people through a locally-produced play, in which her symbolically bloodstained dress was replaced with a heavenly robe.
