Tombstones and Banana Trees: A True Story of Revolutionary Forgiveness

Medad Birungi's body is scarred with the abuses of a haunting childhood-poverty, rejection, abandonment. Growing up with a violent father in Uganda in the 1960s, Medad faced physical and emotional pain that few of us can imagine. Yet today he speaks of a forgiveness that all of us can experience.

Once a boy who begged to die by the side of the road, once a teenager angry enough to kill, once a man broken and searching, today Medad is a testimony to God's transforming power.

Through his story, Medad calls you to find healing for your own emotional scars. As Medad reminds us, when we forgive others, we are doing something truly radical. We are changing relationships, communities, countries. We are welcoming God into the corners of the human soul, where real revolution begins.
