Our Hope and Vision for Rwanda:
By faith we see God transforming the culture and lives of the Rwandan people forever! Those who have suffered the atrocities of a civil war and nationwide genocide will become unified through the body of Christ. Where there was division, hatred and bitterness there will be unity, reconciliation and harmony. Where there is fear, there will be faith in the Almighty God!
Multitudes will hear the Good News for the first time, thousands of families will be discipled, and hundreds of communities of God-fearing, God-serving men and women will be trained to lead, shepherd, disciple and minister to God’s people in their own language and culture.
Where there is loss of hope, fear of the future, fear of death and disease there will be healing of spirit, mind and body.
We will speak their language and understand their culture. We will make many friends. However, and most important, we will witness God transforming lost and broken people into obedient disciples of Jesus.
Discipleship communities will be independent from foreign funds and forms, but dependent upon Almighty God. They will guard and uplift each other and they will continue to disciple their families and friends as well as disciple new communities, mature new leaders and become cross-cultural disciple makers themselves. When they call out to the Lord, He will heal their land and all the saints will sing a new song.
