Over the weekend I did some research on the #ISIS issue and the persecution of the children and communities there and I was appalled. Having spent significant time in Rwanda and interviewing genocide survivors myself and writing down their stories, I always asked myself the question what would I do if I saw another genocide and would I have stopped to help. In Rwanda, they have a saying, Never Again, which is a commitment to never have another genocide take place. Whether we are Christians or not, we have a commitment as human beings to one another. Aside from prayer, two things you can do are: 1) To sign the petition showing Congress that you wont stand idly by while this happens, and 2) Give towards organizations who are working with these refugees. catholic.org/news/international/middle_east/story.php?id=56339 https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/help-christians-mosul-and-iraq-who-are-part-modern-day-holocaust/S0cLfXZg christablack/2014/08/what-can-we-do-about-the-christian-holocaust-in-iraq/ #ISIS #persecution #genocide #neveragain
