Choices: on the way to peace
This DVD is a 3 part study - workshop resource on the themes of forgiveness, healing and peace building. "A wise, accessible and practical guide that is deeply grounded in scripture and road tested at the extremeities of human experience, among the survivors of genocide. They show us that forgiveness maybe hard work, but it is never too hard where it locks into divine power." Cost is $25.

The Men who Killed Me
Fifteen years after the Rwandan genocide, The Men Who Killed Me features testimonials from seventeen survivors. Through their narratives and portraits, sixteen women and one man bear witness to the crimes committed against hundreds of thousands of others. Proceeds from this book will go to Mukomeze, a charitable organization establis
hed to improve the lives of girls and women who survived sexual violence in the Rwandan genocide. For more information>

Beauty from Ashes
The author of this book, Callum Henderson of Comfort Rwanda outlines the background to the genocide and the church in Rwanda. He then takes the reader through the horror and hope of 1994 and the subsequent years of recovery.

The stories are intensely personal and deeply moving and give an insight, through the lives of those who lived through the genocide, of what life then and now is really like and the difference God is making to survivors. Email us if you want a copy. Cost is $20, which supports the work.
