News: November 2009 Archives

Yesterday morning I walked into the Prison Fellowship Rwanda office where I work part-time and saw a familiar face sitting at my colleagues desk. It was Mattias, a repentent genocide perpetrator who killed countless people in the 1994 genocide. His story of transformation is told in Catherine Larson's book As We Forgive. Mattias was also counseled and led to repentence by Pastor Gahigi,  featured in the AWF film.

Muraho from Rwanda! My name is Rachel Weber, a recent addition to the Living Bricks team. I will be working as the Communications Coordinator from Rwanda through June 2010. I have the unique opportunity to track stories of radical reconciliation, repentance, and forgiveness throughout Rwanda and share them with our faithful supporters in the U.S. I will also be offering organizational support and communications assistance to the As We Forgive: Rwanda Initiative, which uses the film As We Forgive as an educational tool to create public dialogue about the process of reconciliation, repentance, and forgiveness throughout Rwanda.
