Freed hostage Segev Kalfon said that in his darkest moments, small miracles kept him going, giving him just enough strength to push through another day.

During one especially brutal stretch, he heard his mother’s voice calling for his release—the first time he’d heard her since being taken—and he resolved to survive, if only for his family.

“I had a one-percent chance of surviving – and I did.”

In an interview with @LouderCreators, Segev Kalfon reflects on the faith that carried him through the unimaginable, and the moment he heard his mother’s voice after a year of silence. pic.twitter.com/nGtV2WFURl
