Commitment to the Mission walk
Summary in English
Summary in English
The Anglican Church of Rwanda as well as other Protestant Denominations in Rwanda has not yet reached out to the sector of Kiyumba, but in a special way, it has already reached Ruhina cell.
According to the geographical boundaries of the Anglican Dioceses, this area falls under Shyogwe Diocese's administration. The nearest Anglican Parish is Muyebe, which is situated at about two and half hours walking distance from Kiyumba (just one way). This calls us to evangelize members of the communities in the former municipalities of Nyabikenke and Rutobwe, where we have not been yet.
As mentioned before, we have already reached Ruhina cell, where since 1st of December 2017, we are glad to have succeeded to establish outreach evangelism. However, shortly after this special achievement, the government of Rwanda came up with a new policy of standardization of church buildings, by setting minimum standards that congregations are required to comply with.
In just three days of an evangelism camp (1st - 3rd of December 2017), twelve (12) people surrendered their lives to Jesus. Due to this success, the Missionary Station hired a room in the shopping centre at 10,000 RWF (roughly 10 EUR) per month to enable the new Christians to meet twice a week, to share faith through Biblical teachings and evangelization. This continued for a few months, but following the new regulations by the government, we had to stop using that substandard place for worship purpose. This is, therefore, a brief summary of where we come from and where we find ourselves now.
Please feel free to contact us for more information. For now please see our pictures, you may also download the full call for a mission walk. And, more importantly, please give us your contact addresses and pledge your commitment on the special commitment webpage.

Summary in French
Résumé:
L'Église Anglicane du Rwanda ainsi que d'autres Dénominations Protestantes n’ont proclamées la Bonne Nouvelle dans le secteur des Kiyumba en général, mais, de manière particulière, la cellule de Ruhina. Selon les limites géographiques, cette région fait partie du diocèse de Shyogwe. La paroisse Anglicane la plus proche est Muyebe située à deux heures et demie de marche àpied (aller simple). Cela nous appelle à évangéliser les membres de cette communauté. Nous avons déjà commencé à Ruhina le 1e Décembre 2017 à travers les visites d’une famille à l’autre ; après quelques mois, le Gouvernement Rwandais a proposé la normalisation des édifices religieux en fixant des normes minimales auxquelles les congregations doivent se conformer.
Après les trois jours du camp d'évangélisation (1er -3 décembre 2017) 12 personnes avaient remis leur vies à Jésus, et, pour permettre des ocasions de recontres, la Station Missionnaire louait une salle dans le centre de négoce de Ruhina de 10.000 Rwf, environ 10 € par mois pour que les nouveaux chrétiens se réunissent deux fois par semaine pour partager la foi à travers des enseignements bibliques et l'évangélisation. Cela s'est produit il y a quelques mois à peine, étant donné que lorsque le Gouvernement a établi les règlements, nous avons dû cesser d'utiliser cet endroit qui ne répondait pas aux normes.
