It is not easy for me to share this last bit of news, but it is necessary. During the week of Aug. 11, 2024, many church buildings were closed in Rwanda because it is believed they do not comply with the required ordinances. Urukundo Worship Center is one of them.
Urukundo has never been visited by the Rwanda person in charge of determining if we have met the faith-based requirements. We hope that this visit will happen soon and our building will again be a place for the faithful to meet for worship on Sunday mornings. In the meantime, we will meet, a few at a time, and spend time singing and in prayer. The early Christians did not meet in buildings. Jesus taught outdoors.
These young people were baptized Aug.17. Building closed; the church (fellowship) goes on.
Pastor Yves and Assistant Pastor Chantel made sure the newly baptized disciples had a Bible printed in their own language.
Here is Pastor Yves baptizing one of the disciples in a nearby lake.
