Preaching from the Grave

“It seemed as if demons had changed into human beings and were now working to destroy humanity.”

In just 100 days in 1994, close to a million people were slaughtered in Rwanda. Hutu extremists killed nearly 70 percent of the Tutsi population during this ethnic cleansing. 

In the face of such evil carnage, a young Adventist Tutsi refused to break God’s commandments. Like Daniel and his three friends, God repeatedly intervened not only to save his life but allow him to witness the process.

Phodidas says, “While it is true that thousands were dying around me, God was still God and acting in Rwanda.” He challenges us with a rock-solid faith, “The most serious problem we faced was that one might not be found ready for eternal life.”
