Over the weekend, brethren came from different parts of Rwanda and joined the workers for the general public meetings.
The workers participated in doctrinal and secretarial seminars.
Musical groups from various missions were present and they participated by praising God with beautiful sacred songs.
Our church children along with children from the neighborhood were present most of the time and a few special meetings were held for them as well.
On Sunday, the Executive Committees of the Rwandan Union Mission and North Kivu Mission met with the General Conference Secretary at the Union Mission headquarters to clarify some matters related to the upcoming General Conference Delegation Session and the plans for further development of the work in their respective regions.
The local leaders expressed their gratitude to the worldwide churches whose generous donations have enabled the General Conference to support the work in Rwanda since its beginning and to continue assisting when most needed.
The Lord has blessed His cause in Rwanda. Currently there are 800 SDARM members in this country, with prospects for fast growth in membership, as many of the 1,673 Sabbath school members who are not yet church members are being prepared for baptism. We hope and pray to see them joining the ranks of church membership very soon.
Soon, with the assistance of the General Conference Publishing Department, the brethren of the Rwandan Union Mission will also be opening their own publishing house, which by the grace of God, will enable them to reach many more souls in Rwanda and also provide literature to the missions in neighboring countries.
This is the Rwandan Union Mission headquarters where the publishing house will be established. Once this branch of the work is operational, the local leadership plans to start a project to open a missionary school with the assistance of the General Conference.
Praised be the Lord for the blessings He has and is bestowing upon our church family in Rwanda!
