Immaculee Ilibagiza in the bathroom where she hid for three months during the Rwandan genocide.
After reading her book, Left To Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust, I knew I wanted to share Immaculee Ilibagiza’s story in fear.less. It’s difficult to imagine how she survived the genocide by hiding in a bathroom with seven other women as killers lurked outside the house. The bathroom was so small that they couldn’t sit or stand at the same time, and Immaculee entered weighing 115-pounds and emerged after 91 days weighing only 65-pounds.
Here she describes the moment she realized that God had answered her prayers, that the killers not find them hiding a few feet away.
“How can hundreds of people, searching specifically for us, miss one door out of 4 bedroom house?” They searched and searched and didn’t see the bathroom door behind the wardrobe that we used to covered it. That’s impossible even to the human imagination! Many times they came back again to search and still, they never found the door.”
I spoke with Immaculee to find out how she lived through her experience and how her inner strength now allows her to share her message with millions of people worldwide.
I’m really inspired reading her story. What a miracle! Earnest prayers are always answered.
I need to look out for her book. And Am expecting the launch of this site, eager to read more such fearless stories
