‘On 6 August 2014 ISIS came to our city and we were forced to leave. ISIS had said that Christians should convert to Islam or they would be killed, or taken with them. I was a teacher and had an ordinary Christian life. We wanted to stay Christians and we wanted to stay serving God. I stayed with my grandmother and my husband took the two girls and went back to Turkey. They went into the ocean in a small boat trying to get to Greece. The motor on the boat broke down. The boat started to sink. My husband had an internet connection so he called me and told me to take care of his mother, to forgive him and say hi to everyone. I told him, “God will be with you. God will save you”. I started praying for them and asking God to save and help them. Then I put their pictures on Facebook and people started praying for them. I lost the connection with them. I was only praying to God. After that I got a call from an unknown number. It was my husband saying he was in the detention centre. "The Turkish authorities picked us up," he said. "We were sinking. We were drowning." The girls were with my husband. "I will be with you until the end of the world,” says Matthew 28.29. I believe in this. I know that God answered my prayers, especially when my husband and daughters were in the middle of the ocean. We are now together in Jordan. He even helped us when we came here. We found a place to stay and schools for the girls. He has fulfilled all our needs. We didn’t need anything. Everything was prepared for us.'
