Immaculee's House
Today was our day off from teaching this week. We traveled to Rubengera to visit the rebuilt home of Immaculée Ilibagiza, author of “Left to Tell,” which is her own survival story of the Rwandan genocide. We were surprised to find a personal connection between Immaculée and Pastor Leonidas, our Rwandan leader for the training we are doing this week. Pastor Leonidas is 62 and Immaculee’s mother was his teacher in primary school.
On our trip back “home” we stopped by the St. Jean Church, a memorial to the genocide. Then we toured the beautiful views and gardens of the St. Jean Guest House. Later we enjoyed our boat ride on Lake Kivu to Peace Island. This is a beautiful land and the islands are evidence of God’s handiwork. We had a fried turkey dinner with fries and fresh avocados. Tomorrow we go to the Rugabano, about one hour away, to begin our training with the second group of church leaders. Please pray for the second training and our energy.
