The Boy Who Met Jesus: Segatashya Emmanuel of Kibeho

It’s the greatest story never told- that of a boy who met Jesus and dared to ask him questions that have consumed mankind for more than 2,000 years. His name was Segatashya. He was a shepherd born into a penniless and illiterate pagan family in remote Rwanda. He never attended school, never saw a bible, and never set foot in a church. One summer day in 1982, while the 15-year-old was resting beneath a tree, Jesus Christ paid him a visit. Jesus asked the startled young man if he’d be willing to go on a mission to remind mankind how to live a life that leads to heaven. Segatashya accepted the assignment on one condition- that Jesus answer all his questions-and all the questions of those he met on his travels - about faith, religion, the purpose of life, and the nature of heaven and hell. Jesus agreed to the boy’s terms, and Segatashya set off on what would become one of the most miraculous journeys in modern history. Written with grace, passion, and loving humour by Immaculee Ilibagiza, The Boy Who Met Jesus is certain to move you in profound ways.
