Sometimes in April a film I was given by a friend to watch, to understand the tragedy that happened 20 years ago. April 7 is named by the United Nations (UN) as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Rwanda Genocide. This day commemorates the deaths of 800,000 people who were murdered in central Africa. Every year around the world Rwandan communities commemorate it. Why remember? Not to repeat it again! It also takes time to heal, to embrace the pain, to recover, to be able to speak about things. With time new details are emerging, giving closure, justice, understanding and reconciliation. Adventist review has many posts this week sharing inspirational stories. Twenty years ago in its May 12, 1994, edition, Adventist Review reported how United Nations troops helped evacuate more than 200 foreign students from 18 African and European countries from the Adventist University of Central Africa (AUCA). About 70 expatriate teachers and staff from all over the world who were employed there were also evacuated to Goma, just across the border from Rwanda, a few downhill miles away. Some staff members stayed behind, buried the bodies, kept the school farm going, and protected the property from further looting. One man by the name of Sosthne saved the lives of 104 people by hiding them on his property at the peril of his own life. One of them, Amon Rugelinyange, went on to become president of the Rwanda Union Mission. Being a Christian was not indicative of how one would act. There are many Christians in name only. While some Christians in Rwanda turned into savage beasts, others chose to follow the selfless example of Christ, putting his life on the line for the sake of his neighbor. One of the heroes is Carl Wilkens served as ADRA director in Kigali at that time, and did not leave but continued serving. He was the only American who stayed there until July. In a recent interview he says our denomination failed horribly in the genocide... We need to address the issue: why?... What resources did the church have in its chains of command? How could we have taken advantage of these resources to prevent something like this from happening? Has the church learned from the genocide? We need to understand what happened, perhaps make a case study out of it and teach it, especially since we interpret the genocide as a trailer of end-time events. WOW! The troubles of today are just a preview of the future end-times tribulation that is yet to come upon the world. Are we ready? Are we using our influence, our relationships to make a difference, to offer salvation? I am reflecting on this as Russian intervention and annexation of Crimea rom Ukraine continues. Is our church capable of helping people? As citizens of heaven how do we make a difference in countries we reside now? Can we go beyond fear, indifference, self-protection, political correctness, non involvement and provide the Sanctuary for people in need? Do we love enough to care? As a culturally diverse congregation we have a potential for making a difference in London, offering a model for friendship and multicultural relations. Are we doing it? Are we mingling with people who are different? This is the time to get ready for final manifestation of Gods Love in our lives.
