Little did they know their faith would be severely tested by a terror group intent on stamping out their Christian witness.
There was a group of believers in this community, so they began to meet for church. However, terrorists in the area didn't want them to hold church services, so they threatened them and firebombed their church, according to a report from Faith Comes by Hearing. But, Jorgé, Maria, and the other believers continued to meet in private homes. The terrorists retaliated by rounding up the men and taking them to their camp. There, they mistreated them for two days and subjected them to forced labor before letting them go. After this, the believers began to pray only within their own homes. Still, the terrorists killed one of the men and his wife, leaving two small children who witnessed the act traumatized and orphaned. One day Jorgé and his family were praying at home. The terrorists discovered them, burst in, and murdered Jorgé and Maria's two children in front of their eyes. To see such a thing profoundly disturbed Jorgé and Maria and shook their faith to the core. "I started to renounce God and became hard of heart. I didn't want to know God anymore because I believed He had killed my children. My children were consecrated to God; they didn't deserve this," Jorgé told Faith Comes by Hearing.
