FORGIVENESS ON GENOCIDE ANNIVERSARY The Beacon-Hope FM To mark the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, where close to 800,000 people were killed, one survivor working with Operation Christmas Child has shared his personal story. Since the genocide he has been visiting and forgiven the people who murdered his family. He also revealed that Rwanda has experienced remarkable healing and growth in the past couple of decades. Alex Nsengimana has been face to face with the man who killed his uncle at a prison in Rwanda in March 2013. He says it is a miracle that God opened up the opportunity to meet the guy during which time he shared a message of love and forgiveness. Alex was able to plant the seeds of hope and love sharing that Christ also came and died for him, and He loves him just as much. Nsengimana was only four years old when he lost his biological mother to HIV in Rwanda. A tutsi never knew his father, but had a great relationship with his grandmother, who took care of him, his younger brother and his older sister. Rwandan genocide survivor Alex Nsengimana extends hope to other children facing desperate circumstances through a simple gift-filled shoebox.
