Friday, Apr. 7, 2006 Posted: 9:02:32AM EST

Christians from around the world on Friday began the first day of a 100-day effort to replace the painful memories of the Rwandan genocide with compassion, love, and renewed hope.

Humanitarian aid organizations, musicians, and Christian leaders will combine their efforts in support of the Hope Rwanda project beginning from Apr. 7 – the day that marks the 12th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide that killed nearly one million people – to July 15, matching the exact 100 days of the genocide.

“Hope Rwanda is very much about working closely with Rwandan community leaders,” said Mark Zschech. “We can’t do this without them.”

Joining in the effort of global compassion for the Rwandan people are well known Christian leaders, musicians, and aid and humanitarian organizations. Among those participating are Joyce Meyer, Brian Houston, Darlene Zschech, Compassion, Samaritan’s Purse and Hillsong United.
