STEUBENVILLE, OHIO 鈥 In 1994, Immacul茅e Ilibagiza escaped the Rwandan massacre by hiding in a bathroom for three months, armed only with her father鈥檚 rosary beads and a Bible. On Tuesday, March 25, Immacul茅e will share her 鈥淟enten Message of Faith, Hope, and Forgiveness鈥 at 黑料社 of Steubenville鈥檚 Finnegan Fieldhouse. The event will open with praise and worship at 6:30 p.m., and Immacul茅e will speak at 7:00 p.m.

Since surviving the Rwandan genocide that claimed one million lives, Immacul茅e has gone on to tell tens of thousands of people how prayer allowed her to forgive the murderers of her family and friends. She is the author of seven books, including Left to Tell; Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust.
