Mission to Rwanda: October 2022

Posted by on Jan 30, 2023 in Missions

Mission to Rwanda: October 10th – 21st 2022 On Monday my flight left the UK at 6:00am via Amsterdam, arriving in Kigali at 7:15pm. It was a blessing to discover I did not need to purchase a visa. Eric, my conference coordinator was there to meet and transport me to my accommodation, the Saint Paul Centre in Kigali. Not much talking as I was tired from travelling. Eric came for lunch the next day and we went through the itinerary. Tuesday 5.00pm I spoke at the Source of Deliverance Church in Kigali. The pastor was amazed that God had given me a very similar message to the one he had preached the previous Sunday. There was a good response to God’s Word and in particular to the mission statement of Recovery Ministries, ‘Without fail you will recover all’. It was a blessing to see faith levels rise to the challenge and get back what the devil had taken. 4:00pm on Wednesday I preached at the Calvary Wide Fellowship in Kigali. The church uses a hired building while theirs is being renovated. It was wonderful to see almost every seat taken. The congregation was very responsive and many stood in response to the appeal. Leaders’ Conference, Gisenyi Thursday we travelled...

Mission to Rwanda: November 2019

Posted by on Nov 30, 2019 in Missions

Eglise Evangelique Church – Nyamata Accidents Do Happen! A taxi cyclist rode straight into the car, puncturing the front tyre, scratching the left-hand side of the car and smashing the rear passenger window. His passenger on the bike was hurt but he was taken to hospital, from which he is recovering. As he had no insurance, the Mission was left to pay for the repairs to the car. This amounted to £150. It was a mad dash to get the car repaired before the long journey to Rusizi. A Bishop and two pastors met with us in Rusizi having come across the border there. We are considering their request to hold a conference in Bukavu. Pray that we shall have clear direction from the Lord concerning this. We would also hold a crusade as well. Gihundwe Church – Rusizi Friday Night Prayer Meeting Saturday Conference New Building Needs a New Roof The church is hoping to start the new roof in December. If anyone would like to help finance their new roof, please contact me. See the report of March 2019 to view pictures of the building.

Rwanda Conferences – March 2019 An eventful and frustrating missions trip due to luggage delayed for two days and refused entry at the border with Burundi due to visa regulations having been changed. Also Bishop Tom, Pastor Moses and other team members were unable to come from Uganda due to border issues between Uganda and Rwanda. Still a hastily arranged conference in Adepara – Thursday together with the planned conference in Rusizi – Friday to Sunday, resulted in successful missions and God’s people blessed and influenced for good. The invitation to return for further ministry was appreciated.
