An amazing story you won't want to miss . . .
Growing up in the throes of an unstable Rwandan government, Alex Nsengimana experienced first-hand the travesties of his nation's genocide. After his mother died while he was young, Alex, his brother and sister went to live with their grandmother and uncle. At the height of tribal unrest in 1994, the genocide claimed the lives of his caregivers. Fleeing for his life, Alex escaped gunmen when he fell and they took him for dead. He fled and stumbled onto the steps of an orphanage that would serve as his home for the next several years. Alex received a shoe box from Operation Christmas Child one year after arriving at the orphanage and remembers being so excited to have a gift to call his own. Alex was selected to join the African Children's Choir and traveled to Uganda to train and began touring in the U.S. Now Alex lives in Minnesota and will finish seminary this spring.
