“It seemed as if demons had changed into human beings and were now at work 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 with Daniel and his three friends, God repeatedly intervened to not only save his life but gave him opportunity to witness in the process.

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