The Question That Haunted a Rwanda Genocide Survivor
Description
Nearly one million people were killed during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Ben survived. His father didn't. And one question stayed with him: “Why did I survive?”
In this powerful episode of the Inspire Hope Podcast, Samuel Bernard sits down with Ben, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide, to hear his remarkable story of survival, devastating loss, and faith.
When violence swept through Rwanda in 1994, Ben lost his father. Yet he, his mother, and his five siblings survived.
While many people ask, “Why did this happen to me?” Ben found himself wrestling with a different question: “Why was I spared when so many others died?”
How do you process such unimaginable loss? How do you make sense of surviving when others didn't? And where is God in the middle of suffering?
This is an honest conversation about grief, survivor's guilt, God's providence, and finding hope after tragedy.
🎧 Listen to Ben's testimony and discover why his story is one you won't soon forget.
