Prayer Request...
(from Serge and Jennifer Kamari, Kigali, Rwanda)
We are not sure what you have heard or read regarding the current relations of France and Rwanda. Rwanda has a commission investigating the role of France in the 1994 genocide and has uncovered some very heinous things.
As France has learned about what has been uncovered about them, they have taken measures to divert the attention from themselves and just this past week have issued arrest warrants for various Rwandese in conjunction with the genocide and have internationally stated that President Paul Kagame should be tried for the genocide as well. This has caused a stir in Rwanda to say the least. Nothing violent, just people raising their support for the Rwandese government and speaking out against the French.
The Rwandan ambassador to France was home within 24 hours and the French ambassador and all things French (NGO's, schools, cultural centre) were closed here in Rwanda within 72 hours.
How does this affect us you might ask...
Well... the house we live in is owned by the Rwandan Ambassador to France. He has returned and wants it back. Our landlord came by this afternoon to tell us. We do have a contract which states we have two months to move BUT that is not a very long time to find a house that is suitable for us, have any upgrades done to the house and move. God brought us this house from a pretty impossible situation and we're trusting him to do the same.
Serge and Jen
