Rwanda Hope
Several months ago I wrote a blog entry in which I quoted a Dallas Seminary professor talking about one of our students. Here’s what that prof said about him:He was a pastor in Rwanda, was out of the country during the genocide, went through refugee camps for days looking into the faces of the dead for his parents, found members of his church in one camp, preached a Sunday sermon to them, while preaching saw his mother walking through the crowd, wept at mass graves, made repeated trips back to preach reconciliation, was on hit lists from both sides, was arrested and beaten, later invited back by the government, started a ministry with staff in at least half a dozen countries, hired a guy whose brothers helped murder [this student’s] father and brother, finishing a PhD dissertation on forgiveness . . . Oh my. He is one of the heroes. And I’m supposed to be teaching him?That student’s name is Celestin Musekura. His wife, Bernadette, has a passion to develop Christian women leaders in Africa. Check out some of what their organization is doing on behalf of women.A church group in Tennessee has put their talents together to help broaden the boundaries of the Musekuras' ministry.
