Father Mark Longwa

Going to refugee camps to minister was a blessing because we were once refugees too.

You see, we go and we encourage them and say that war will come to an end one day so let's keep hope alive - we shall not lose your hope and we shall be like the children of Israel who were in exile. They were in our neighbouring country Egypt and Jesus was there as a refugee too - can you imagine that?

It is 70 years now since the second world war stopped. So I am very optimistic and am sure that the young generation will come and they will see peace. It is just a matter of time and we are going through that and I am sure getting out of this we will be more united than before. You see we have learned from our mistake and we have seen it and it is a manmade disaster. It is not from heaven, it is not from God and it is not from satan either. We made it by ourselves so we shall blame ourselves and we shall ask God to forgive us - he is always there, he is always there.
