This film is the gripping testimony of a member of the International Ecumenical Fraternity: Thérèse Ehouzou.
She is a doctor, from Benin (West Africa), a mother of five children, who is committed for life to the Chemin Neuf Community. Thérèse tells us how God has intervened in her life.
From Senegal, via Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo and Ivory Coast, the Word of the Lord fulfils itself in her life: “He set the power of salvation in the centre of our lives” Luke 1:69.
Thérèse is also the story of God who lets himself be found and met in a figure of hope, during war time, amongst those forgotten by our societies, the so-called ‘irretrievable’, the mentally ill.
This film is a road to the resurrection of a life which, in the face of the injuries and setbacks of our time, restores itself in God’s mercy.
Today, in December 2005, Thérèse lives in France, in Montagnieu, at the Siloam Centre, run by the Chemin Neuf Community. There she looks after the spiritual companionship of those at the Centre, which is open to all and offers a path of prayer and inner healing – a calling to experience reconciliation with one’s own personal life story in the light of the Holy Spirit and the World of God.
