Brother Théophile Mwagalwa has asked me to translate this message from French and forward it to you for inclusion in Gospel News. Sis Sonia
Our ecclesias here need help at all levels; Brother David Smith or Brother Steve Weston could tell you about it. Some of our members were even raped by militiamen. They were taken away into the forest by members of the Interahamwe opposition movement from Rwanda. The three of them were raped, and then released a few days later. They are now receiving treatment at a Norwegian Protestant centre. The ecclesia where this took place is Bukavu –Lukananda, in Congo, about 25 km from Bukavu.
