Rwanda is nearly beyond words for me. There is more pain here than I ever imagined existed. Sometimes one person's story contains more evil happening to them than I have ever even heard about.
To go along with that I have had my faith brought down to one choice on my part. Do I choose to trust God? I have chosen to trust but it is something I will never understand. I can't not trust this God I see here. His power is beyond my understanding. And the extent of what Jesus took on Himself on the cross has a whole new meaning for me now.
It is not all pain though. There are amazing people here. There are people in my class, people I interact with daily, that have survived hell on earth and they sing praises to God. The depth of their faith is truly awesome.
Still, not everyone is able to heal yet. I would really appreciate prayers for one Rwandese guy in my class. His name is Sellassie. He has become a friend of mine but he is having a very hard time with life in general right now. All I can say is pray hard for him and his remaining family.
