Forgiveness in the midst of murder, with Immaculee Ilibagiza

Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in Rwanda and had a fairly normal life until 1994 when everything changed. Hutu extremists seized control of power and began a genocide that would rip her world apart. Immaculee hid for 91 days with seven other women in a small bathroom as killers searched for them. In this interview by Skip Prichard, we see how horrific adversity can be transformed into peace and forgiveness.
When she finally walked out of the bathroom, Immaculee weighed only 65 pounds. Her family and friends were all viciously murdered. It’s estimated that up to one million people were killed in the genocide.
If that were the end of the story, it would be another tragedy for history. Incredibly, Immaculee found peace and forgiveness in the midst of one of the world’s most horrific events. She began a deep, spiritual journey in that bathroom and developed a life of prayer that transformed her. She’s personally forgiven the people who murdered her family and friends. “The love of a single heart can make a world of difference,” she says.
When you meet her, there’s not a trace of anger or hatred. You sense only peace, forgiveness, and love. She has a presence and an awareness that we can all learn from. You can read about it in her bestselling book, “Left to Tell.”
