On a fateful day in 2019, Pastor Robert Burale received a distressing call from his cousin Lucas Meso, informing him that his younger brother had been hit by an ambulance in Nairobi.
According to Burale, he was filled with anger and resentment towards the driver who had left his brother 'to die like a dog.'
However, as he rushed to Kilimani Police station, God spoke to him, and he simmered down. After having a heart-to-heart conversation with the driver, Burale finally forgave him.
"The first question I posed to him was 'you mean you left my brother wounded and bleeding on the road…did you want him to die like a dog?'" Burale recalled. "But as I got to listen to the driver, compassion took over 'I am sorry about your brother…I was rushing an 8-day-old baby to hospital.'"
Burale's encounter with the driver taught him a valuable lesson on forgiveness and love, which he has since shared with his audience.
