RWANDA HEALING

She looked across the table at a church fellowship potluck dinner into the eyes of the people who had butchered her family--and left her for dead at Rwandan massacre site. She had lain among the dead for three days until a passerby noticed her twitching and took her to help.

And then she saw a family bringing food to the table in what had been her mother’s favorite dishes—looted trophies of the macabre event.

Now she ate with them in forgiving fellowship with Christ.

Children’s Cup missionary David Van Rensburg, “Beano,” is helping coordinate preparations in Kigali, Rwanda, for the Joyce Meyer Crusade—part of the Hundred Days of Healing projects of Hillsong and many major ministries.

As the lady told Beano about the potluck encounter he could easily see how she was disfigured by the machete chops, yet he also saw a radiant presence of God in her life. Her scars had become badges of God’s grace.

Healing is coming to Rwanda. It is coming because hurting people on both sides have turned their hurting place into a forgiving place and God is making it a healing place.

Please pray with us as we seek God’s direction for Children’s Cup’s onward involvement in Rwanda.
