Hills explained that in response to her son's death, she and her husband adopted eight orphaned children, and challenged other women to do likewise.
"You have 822,000 orphans in your country, which is one out of every three children," Hills said. "God wants to make disciples of all nations, and the only way to do that is to include the orphans."
Another woman, Chantel, shared about the horrific suffering she endured during the genocide and the liberation she later experienced in forgiveness.
Her entire family, except her and her sister, was shot and burned. She was then taken captive by a soldier and a watchman who repeatedly raped her. She eventually contracted a sexually transmitted disease.
Chantel then recalled how her desire for revenge was so strong that she gave false testimony in court against one of her neighbours, lying that he had killed another person on their block. But when she could no longer live with the guilt of lying, she turned back to faith.
"I could see how Satan used the Hutus for evil, but also he used Tutsis in revenge," she said. "I asked God what He wanted, and began to change. As I prayed, I felt a peace in my heart that enabled me to tell the truth in a follow-up trial and begin to pray for the salvation of that man and his children."
She said she eventually was able to forgive the person who killed and burned her parents. Chantel met the man responsible for her family's murder in the genocide prison.
"As I stared into the face of that person, I had to check my heart, and when I found I only had love for him it scared me," she said. "But my heart is now filled with joy, and that is much better than living with pain."
