Major Brent Beardsley February 12th 10am
In 1993 and 1994, before and during the genocide in Rwanda, Major Beardsley served as
the Personal Staff Officer to then Major-General Romeo Dallaire, the Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda. He was an eyewitness to the genocide in Rwanda and collaborated and co-authored with General Dallaire, Shake Hands with theDevil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, which was released in Canada in the fall of 2003 and later turned into an award winning motion picture. His story of human tragedy and his own personal faith and convictions that were tried by fire will inspire you with the knowledge that hope can be found in life’s darkest hours.
