He was driven from his home after Seleka rebels attacked his village, burning his home and sexually assaulting his wife in front of him. His sons were killed in cannon fire, and he was also tortured. Since living in the camp, Emmanuel has struggled with his health, and access to the necessary medications has been limited. Recently, with VOM&rsquo;s help, Emmanuel received the prescriptions he needed, and his peace has been restored. &ldquo;My joy is immense. May the name of God be praised. Thank you &mdash; today I have peace of my heart,&rdquo; he said. Though he has suffered much, his faith has not wavered as he has found comfort in the Scriptures. &ldquo;What comforts me most is the Word of God,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;In our camp, we never stop meeting to share the word of God.&rdquo; Pray for Emmanuel to continue to find strength and encouragement from God&rsquo;s word as his health recovers.
