FAITHFUL TO THE DEATH
Bishop Ndoracimpa, Bishop of the Burundi Conference, returned to Burundi after his Annual Mission journey only to find his own country in as much turmoil as the neighboring country of Rwanada. There were death threats made upon his life. On the second day back home, one of the young men who assisted him around the house was brutally murdered and a note attached to the body which warned the Bishop to leave or the same would happen to him. The two American Bishops who accompanied Bishop Ndoracimpa back to Burundi urged him to leave but he told them he had to stay for his people. They reminded him of the death threats, and he reminded them of the resurrection and said, “I would rather die than be unfaithful. Besides, what have I to fear if I believe in the resurrection?” Bishop Ndoracimpa is walking by faith and not by sight. We’re called to do the same.
