There is none.

Wow, I would love to hear the Lapp brothers story in person. Who but God can turn tragedy into redemption? It gives me hope for some situations in my life.

We listened to one of the Lapp brothers share parts of his story in person and are still astonished at this Amish guy who has been within miles of ISIS. Possibly the most jaw-dropping memory he shared was being escorted by the military in an armed caravan to a mountaintop where they turned to him and said, “Now pray.” ISIS was only a few short miles away.

Who but a God like ours can take something as horrible as the Nickel Mines tragedy and turn it into potential redemption for people a world away!

It grieves me when I see friends who clinge to historical injustice, see everything from a tribal perspective of race, gender or religion and live imprisoned by their own hatred. Forgiveness can be freeing, I think this is another wonderful example: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/26/auschwitz-survivor-explains-why-she-shook-hands-with-a-former-nazi-prison-guard-and-then-the-strangest-thing-happened/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=ShareButtons
