STORY OF HOPE FROM RWANDA FEATURED AT LIFETREE CAFÉ WEDNESDAY AT 6:30 p.m. Hope and life’s purpose will be explored through an exclusive film featuring Rwandan John Gasangwa at Lifetree Café.

“John Gasangwa survived the horrors of starvation and war in part because he made a promise: If he finished his education, he’d serve his people,” says Lifetree Café representative Craig Cable. “That promise gave John purpose. A reason to live. We’ll hear his story and then see what we can learn about hope and purpose.”
