Rwanda 2008 Trip Reflecion #3 - John Woolley

It’s really good to be back and too bad we had to leave, if you know what I mean.  This was a pretty powerful experience that I am still processing to understand. The genocide was 14 years ago, but the thought that I keep coming back to is that the genocide still goes on.  Mass graves are still being discovered. A whole generation of Rwandan men is missing. Thousands and thousands of children have no parents. AIDS continues to take the lives of children born to women infected through brutal rapes.  And yet, the country could not exist today without the grace of Jesus seen in the lives of those still there.  How does a mortal human forgive the neighbor who killed your family members? The Rwandese are moving onto healing, and the only explanation of how that could be is through Christ. Miracles are alive and well in Rwanda.
