HEALING & RECONCILIATION
Comfort Rwanda is working in partnership
with The Living
Church in Rwanda and works closely
with its vice-president, Paul
Ndahigwa. Paul lost many family
members during the genocide; and the
suffering of those who had been
tortured, raped and mutilated made the
message of forgiveness a hard one to
preach. “It was a genocide
that was quite different”
explains Paul. “We had the
same culture, language and religion
and the killers were often relatives
of others who were killed. They killed
the pregnant women and ripped out the
babies. They took little children and
swung them against walls. Not everyone
took part but the accusation against
those who did not was “what did
you do when others were killed? What
did you do to prevent it? Did you
think it was a game?”
