Elizabeth Smart Shares the One Compelling Detail that Helped Her Escape

Faith Counts, a multi-faith initiative that represents more than 100 million Americans, is celebrating the release of a new video. The compelling YouTube video that features kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart is the 14th video produced by the group.

“Faith has been an integral part of my life,” said Smart. “It has sustained and comforted me during trying times, given me courage to overcome adversity and has helped to heal my mind, body and spirit. I hope that by sharing my story as part of Faith Counts that it might inspire others to have greater faith, especially in times of trial and uncertainty.”

Smart was kidnapped from her Salt Lake City home on June 5, 2002 at the age of 14.
