Faith Facts
- Christian woman rescued after four years in ADF captivity

- Her faith endured despite relentless pressure to abandon Christ
A Christian woman abducted by Allied Democratic Forces fighters during an attack in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2022 has been rescued by Ugandan soldiers, ending more than four years of captivity marked by sexual abuse and pressure to abandon her faith.
Ugandan troops located the woman and secured her release from the terrorist group known for its brutal tactics against Christians and civilians in the region. The ADF, an Islamist militant group, has long targeted believers in eastern Congo and western Uganda.
Her liberation marks a rare victory against the ADF, which continues to operate across the porous border between the two nations. The woman endured repeated abuse and coercion yet held fast to her faith throughout her ordeal.
