The Amish Forgiveness at Nickel Mines - Anabaptist (Philippians 4:13)

In 2006, a gunman killed five Amish girls at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. The world expected rage. Instead, the Amish community visited the killer's family with forgiveness, attended his funeral, and set up a fund for his widow. How? Philippians 4:13 in community: strength not just for individuals but for a whole people shaped by generations of practicing forgiveness. "I can do all things"—including the impossible act of forgiving your children's murderer—through Christ who strengthens the community.
