Many children live in the camp. They approach you to shake your hand and receive affection because many have lost their parents. Their hearts are broken and their minds traumatized by images of violence and slaughter. One man said he doubts that Hutus and Tutsis could ever live together again in Rwanda. His mind is filled with revenge.
Children try to survive and look for a reason to live but are questioning about trusting others.
During a service in Goma for refugee members, it was moving to see Hutus and Tutsis singing together for Christ, who died for the reconciliation of humanity. Let our lights shine We feel ineffective, but we must do something according to the love given to us by Jesus Christ. The situation is not as gloomy today in Goma as it was in 1994 because of a certain degree of economic renewal in the region. A lot still has to be done, and your prayers can make a difference in the refugees' future. The congregation in Goma consists of the Banzubaze, Kandinana and Muzalia families and others.
