RWANDA
A
bout 8 years ago a young Moslem man in Rwanda called Omar
requested literature from us and decided to convert to Christ. He
was baptized by us in the Hotel Mille Collines in Kigali, the hotel which
features in the documentary Hotel Rwanda. This quiet young man was
very devoted to his new faith, and at the time was in teacher training
college. He finished, and was then posted to a remote part of Rwanda.
There in deep jungle in quite literally darkest Africa, our brother has
grown in his faith, kept in contact over the years and has interested
his whole school in the true Gospel. He also helped translate the
French version of The Real Devil movie. He recently received a box of
the NEV French New Testaments with commentary which we
published, and you can see the joy of his fellow teachers on holding
God's word in their hands in this remote place. The box took over 6
months to arrive. Our brother and his contacts speak English as well as
French.
Rwanda, contrary to its image, is now a safe and lovely country.
Let us know if you'd like to go visit our brother and assist with
baptizing his contacts. This would be a trip you won't forget, to
a solid brother who has shown his stability in the faith for some
years but is somewhat cut off from the rest of us by distance.
