Bishop John Rucyahana
A native of Rwanda, John Rucyahana fled his homeland at age 14 during the 1959 Tutsi persecution and exile. He lived the next 38 years in Uganda where he was serving as the diocesan Missions Coordinator of the Anglican Church when the Rwandan genocide erupted in 1994. He immediately led mission teams into Rwanda to minister and preach, continuing to do so for the next three years. In 1997, Rucyahana left his Ugandan ministries to become the Anglican Bishop of the Shyira Diocese in northwest Rwanda, the largest and most devastated diocese in the country.
