  Today Prison fellowship Rwanda (PFR) is in its 14th year of working ministry. Looking back over those years, I remember many things that were a head of us to accomplish.
Without any doubt I also entirely remember many things God did to help Rwandan people, wounded by war and division, to live peacefully.
PFR aims to promote peace, unity and reconciliation between the prisoners and genocide victims by preventing re-offending, assisting offenders to reintegrate back into the community. Through prisoners ministries and members of victims' associations combined efforts leads to efficient recovery of wounds and broken hearts.
Sycamore tree Project has been useful and leads to greater achievement in unity and reconciliation in Rwanda.
The bible says that judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive and ye shall be forgiven….. Luke 6:37. Our responsibility, as Christians is to forgive persons who committed a crime against us and restore offenders back into community. PFR has helped and teaches Christians to forgive each other.
God bless you.
