Long Recovery for Woman Injured in a Church Attack

[258] prayers in [16] nations have been posted for Diana.

Almost five years after being injured in a church attack, Diana has nearly recovered from her wounds. She and her husband, Austin, were among 21 worshipers severely wounded in a 2014 attack on the Joy in Jesus Pentecostal Church in Mombasa, Kenya, that left seven people dead. Following multiple surgeries and difficult medical treatments, Diana has renewed hope of life without pain. A 2018 surgery finally addressed some lingering issues in her wounded arm, providing pain relief. “My visit to her in February 2019 was much different from my previous ones,” a VOM worker said. “With a broad smile on her face, Diana warmly welcomed me.” Today, Diana shares her testimony around Kenya to encourage other Christians. “I am whole again,” she told the worker. “Your love and patience have seen me through.”
