Yes, the journey is yet to begin. It is humbling and yet exciting to think of the opportunity to go to Rwanda! I will be introduced to new sights, smells, and culture. It will be beautiful.
However, my heart aches for the Rwandan people. For so many, the genocides are a haunting memory. In three months, over one-million people died. That is a statistic that is quite simply beyond the comprehension for the American. But it is vividly a part of the life and history of the Rwandan. They cannot escape the painful memory of the past that lingers in their present. Therefore, these people need to know of the hope, healing, restoration, and even unity that they have in the Almighty. By no means are they inferior, but beyond any type of value. These people are precious and their worth is beyond measure. This message of truth needs to be shared with the beautiful people of Rwanda!
