The Bible says that true religion is one that help orphans and widows. This is the fondation of Audacious Church in England and the InkuruNziza Church in Rwanda.
Recently, Inkurunziza Church in Rwanda hosted visitors from England at Audacious Church located in Manchester. The 17 christians from England came to Rwanda under the leadership of Pastor Keith Reid, one of the pastors of this church in charge of Mission.
These guests came for evangelistic activities in collaboration with the Inkurunziza church Parish Church of Cyabatanzi which operates in the Rusororo Sector, Gasagara Cell. It was not the first time to work with the Inkurunziza church, as they had come to evangelize last year.
One of the pastors of Inkurunziza told Paradise.rw that the main purpose of Audacious church visit in Rwanda "is evangelism, as well as building infrastructure, including a Basketball court built in the primary school, Ecole Primaire de Gasagara".
Among other things they did, they visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial, at Gisozi, where 250,000 victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi are buried, as well as the Ruhanga Genocide Memorial, and learning more about Rwanda’s bitter history.
They also held evangelistic gatherings, as well as various trainings for the development of church believers in Evangelism, Food Donation and Health Counseling.
Paradise.rw saw a blueprint for the building of the "Community Development Center" planned to be built by the Good News Church in Cyabatanzi Parish in collaboration with the Audacious Church of England.
The visitors from England would help Inkurunziza in development activities, they have been in Rwanda for 11 days. The return of these guests for the second time means something important for the relationship, especially between Audacious church and Inkurunziza church in Rwanda.
The reason is that for the first time last year it was successful in carrying out various activities to helped the people of Cyabatanzi to develop to continue preaching the message showing Jesus as the guarantor ’we should trust him more in our lives’.

The administration of Rusororo Sector in the ceremony to start the construction of a Basketball court thanked the Church of Inkurunziza for it’s continuous efforts to promote evangelism and the well-being of the people living in Rusororo sector, Gasagara Cell.
They praised this church because it contributes to the development of Rwandans where every year they provide medical insurance to about 500 needy people, to welcome the needy, to pay for children’s education through the program to promote education.
The secretary of Inkurunziza Church in Rwanda, Pastor Ruzindana Lambert, who attended the ceremony to launch the construction of this Basketball infrastructure, said why he appreciates the construction of the infrastructure at Gasagara Primary School.
He explained that this church aims to cooperate with the government in promoting community development and education, especially since there was no Basketball court in this cell, so they believe that cooperation with this public school will improve entertainment and quality education for youth.
Ev. Cyiza Emmanuel, who represents Development and Welfare Projects in the Inkurunziza church in Rwanda and is the Assistant Pastor of the Inkurunziza Parish of Cyabatanzi, said that "Audacious church day by day are playing a big role into the ministry of Inkurunziza at Cyabatanzi community and as result of their influence many people are coming to the Lord and others find freedoms in the Lord.
We have a strong project which we are working on and this project is about to build a “Community Development Center for the People living in this community“ This project is under the 10 years plan top project because we are still under the process of finding the building permit from the Authorities."
He announced that this project has been studied and a design has been done, and they want to be advocated for this project to be approved for construction, especially since it will be aimed at improving the people living in Gasagara.
One of the challenges they faced for this project was that they found the designated area in the Church site was put it in the Recreation Area (Gardens). That is why they are requesting the right to build this building because it is a big project that will benefit the community where it will include:
1. Technical School
2. ECD
3. Entertainment Hall
4. Adult Literacy Room
"What we want is for the relevant authorities to help us properly control the benefits this project will bring to the people of Gasagara Cell in terms of Development and Welfare, so they give us the right, because the Partners of Audacious Church helped us to get the land and the ’Master Design’ " - Inkurniza Management talking to Paradise.
