Jesus Helps Woman in Iconic 1972 Vietnam War Photo to Forgive

Isaiah Narciso : Jun 30, 2015  The Gospel Herald

"The terrified little girl in the picture isn't running anymore, she's flying." –Kim Phuc

(Canada)—The iconic image that portrayed the horrors of the Vietnam War featured a 9-year-old girl running away naked from a napalm attack, suffering from burns back in 1972. That girl, Kim Phuc, recently met the photographer who shot that famous picture and is now a Christian. (Photo: REUTERS/Ina Fassbender/via Gospel Herald)

According to Dianne Bourne of the Mirror, 52-year-old Phuc reunited with Vietnamese photographer Nick Ut, who took the picture that made front-page news around the world, in England. She now works as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and campaigns for peace around the world.

"When I look at the image I'm just amazed that I'm still alive, I'm so grateful and thankful for that," Phuc said. "I have learned from tragedy, from the pain, from the challenges, and I'm so grateful to be healed."

Phuc added that her traumatic experience, along with her Christian faith, allowed her to "do my best to help victims of war around the world."
"I am grateful for what happened to me because it made my faith strong and it made my body strong," Phuc said. "I like to say the world gave that little girl in the picture a sour lemon, but I have made it into a lemonade."

According to Paula Newton and Thom Patterson of CNN, Phuc, who now lives in Toronto as a wife and mother, underwent countless painful skin grafts and surgeries that helped heal her physical wounds. However, she did not find peace until she became a Christian at 19 years old; she credited God for saving her life.
