New York Times Best-Selling Author & Rwandan Genocide Survivor, Immaculée Ilibagiza, shares her powerful story of forgiveness.

Please RSVP and indicate the number of seats (up to 4) you wish to reserve or call toll free 1-888-849-4889.

Immaculée Ilibagiza is a living example of forgiveness in action. Her life was transformed dramatically during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when she and seven other women spent 91 days hiding in a bathroom of a local pastor's house. She entered a vibrant, 115-pound university student and emerged weighing just 65 pounds to find most of her family had been brutally murdered.

Refusing to succumb to anger and resentment, Immaculée eventually found it possible, in fact imperative, to forgive her tormentors and her family's murderers. She is now regarded as one of the world's leading speakers on peace, faith, and forgiveness.
