An Amazing Story of God's Provision

CHRIST MY ONLY HOPE:

The Life Story of Yamuragiye Cyprien

by Dr. Carroll Marr

 At birth Yamuragiye Cyprien was so severely disabled that his appearance brought fear to the hearts of the residents of his Rwandan village. They were certain that something evil was happening and they were in danger if he was allowed to live. In a culture where names are important his father names him “Unknown” because they didn’t know what he was.

Rejected by his own and homeless by three, he miraculously survives only to face an even greater challenge in the Rwandan genocide. His survival gives way to more challenges including rejection, imprisonment, threats, and gunfire. His amazing story will reveal the miraculous intervention of a loving God.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“The life of Cyprien Yamuragiye is something that you would think would come from a script in Hollywood! However his story entitled, Christ, My Only Hope, written by Pastor Carroll Marr, is not from Hollywood, but based on the real life of someone who has quite a testimony. You will be blown away as I was when reading about all that Cyprien has endured in his life. However in the midst of all he had been through he received the unconditional love and the undeserved grace of God. Now his life and testimony is being used to touch and change the life of others.”

The grace of God is manifestly evident in the amazing events and beautiful faith responses of Cyprien Yamurigiye’s life. May I encourage you to take up, read, and be blessed by this book you hold in your hand? You will not regret it.

Cyprien’s life is truly a miracle, the story of God’s amazing, unceasing, life transforming love. During our time together in Israel (Cyrpien was a student at One for Israel Bible College), Cyprien would share bits and pieces of his past life, and I knew then that his story had to be written so that others (including myself) can hear about the great things God has done in his life. I pray this book will be a blessing to everyone who picks it up, I pray that every reader will discover the same unconditional love that has completely transformed the “Unknown” man from Rwanda into a man of God who is loved by everyone who meets him.

God has blessed me greatly by giving me numerous immigrant friends.  Many of them have endured unspeakable hardships and responded with heroic faith.  At the top of this list is my friend, Yamuragiye Cyprien.  Cyprian’s joy and compassion for others is inspirational.  For so many years, people who have met Cyprien have told him, “Your story needs to be told!”  Fortunately, Dr. Carroll Marr has put down on paper this amazing story of perseverance and provision.  At first glance, you might look upon Cyprian, a disabled refugee from Rwanda, with some amount of pity.  However, after reading his story, you realize that this is a man who is living a life of abundance.  Cyprien’s faith and experiences have given him a joy that many people only dream of having.
