The Joy of Reconciliation in Rwanda (Re-air)

About this episode

The episode discusses the joy of reconciliation in Rwanda post-genocide through personal stories of faith and forgiveness.

This month, we're re-airing one of our favorite and most listened to podcasts from November 2025. Enjoy... The country of Rwanda in east Africa has known tremendous suffering and loss from the Genocide of 1994, in which hundreds of thousands were killed. And even though a huge percentage of Rwandans identify as believers, many mix elements of their former pagan beliefs and practices with their new Christian faith. So, the need for the Gospel to heal and correct is desperately needed. Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Anton De Vreugd, as Anton recalls wonderful Christians he met on his recent trip to Rwanda. That includes 12-year-old Joyeuse, who loves to write and sing her own songs about the Lord. And 63-year-old Dalie, who lost her own dear husband and son in the Rwanda Genocide but was granted strength by God to forgive those who brought such tragedy to her life. Subscribe today and invite others to listen with you to this powerful podcast. Length: 24:54.
