Icyatumye iki gikorwa kirushaho kugira umwihariko ni uko abagikoze batashakaga gusa gutanga ubufasha, ahubwo bashakaga gushyira mu bikorwa ibyo bemera kandi bigisha.

Yego. Umusamariya Mwiza ahuza neza cyane n’iyi nkuru, kuko ubutumwa bwe bushingiye ku **kugirira impuhwe umuntu uri mu kaga, kumwegera no kumufasha mu buryo bufatika**. Dore uko igice cy’inkuru cyahinduka:

Urukundo rutagarukira ku magambo

Igikorwa cya Shalom Choir cyibutsa cyane inkuru y’Umusamariya Mwiza ivugwa muri Bibiliya, aho Yesu yigishije ko gukunda mugenzi wawe atari ukumwifuriza ibyiza gusa, ahubwo ari no kugira impuhwe, kumwegera no kugira icyo ukora igihe ari mu kaga.

Mu nkuru yo muri Luka 10:25-37, Yesu avuga ku muntu wari watewe n’abambuzi, bakamwambura, bakamukubita ndetse bakamusiga ari intere.

Abantu bari bamubonye bamurengaho, ariko Umusamariya wari uhanyuze we aramubona, amugirira impuhwe, aramwegera, amuvura ibikomere ndetse amujyana ahantu yashoboraga kwitabwaho.

Icy’ingenzi muri iyi nkuru si ibyo Umusamariya yavuze, ahubwo ni ibyo yakoze. Yabonye umuntu uri mu bibazo, ntiyigendera ngo amusige aho yari ari. Yaramanutse, aramwegera, amwitaho kandi akoresha ibyo yari afite kugira ngo amufashe.

Ni na wo murongo Shalom Choir yashatse gukurikiza ubwo yageraga mu Bitaro bya Nyamata. Abarwayi babonye abantu batazanywe n’ubutumwa mu magambo gusa, ahubwo babazaniye n’ubufasha bufatika.

Korali Shalom yabegereye, ibaha impano zitandukanye, ibagezaho ihumure, yita ku babyeyi bitegura kwibaruka n’abana bavuka, ndetse inishyurira ubwishyu bw’ubuvuzi abarwayi 13 bari babuze ubushobozi bwo kubwishyura.

Bityo, nk’Umusamariya Mwiza wabanje kubona ububabare bw’uwari waguye mu maboko y’abambuzi, Shalom Choir nayo yagerageje kubona ububabare bw’abari mu bitaro no kugira icyo ibumarira.

Bashyize mu bikorwa ubutumwa baririmba

Iki gikorwa cyabaye mbere y’uko Shalom Choir ishyira hanze indirimbo yayo nshya “Urukundo rw’Imana”, bituma haba isano ikomeye hagati y’ibyo yakoze n’ubutumwa bw’indirimbo. Muri iyo ndirimbo baririmba bati: “Sinkirata ikindi keretse umusaraba...”

Umusaraba, kuri bo, ni ikimenyetso gikomeye cy’urukundo Imana yakunze abantu. Ariko urukundo nk’urwo, iyo umuntu arwakiriye, ntirukwiye kumusigira amagambo gusa; rukwiye kumutera no kubona abandi bafite ibyo bakeneye no kugira icyo abakorera.

Ni yo mpamvu Shalom Choir yabanje kugaragaza urukundo mu bikorwa, nyuma iraruririmba. Mu bitaro, ubutumwa bwabo bwari mu mpano batanze, mu buvuzi bafashije kwishyura, mu gufata ukuboko k’umurwayi no mu magambo yo kumuhumuriza. Nyuma yaho, indirimbo iza nk’ubundi buryo bwo kugeza ubwo butumwa ku bantu benshi.

Bararirimba ibyo bemera, ariko banagerageza kubaho ubuzima bw’ibyo baririmba. Ibi ni na byo Yesu yashimangiye mu nkuru y’Umusamariya Mwiza ubwo yasozaga abaza ati: “Ni nde muri abo batatu wabaye mugenzi w’uwo muntu waguye mu bambuzi?”

Igisubizo cyari Umusamariya wamugiriye imbabazi. Yesu aramubwira ati: “Genda nawe ubigenze utyo.”

Ni ubutumwa bukomeye ku bakristo muri iki gihe: urukundo nyakuri ntirurebera kure ububabare bw’undi; ruramwegera, rukamukorera kandi rukagira icyo ruhindura ku buzima bwe.

Muri ubwo buryo, igikorwa cya Shalom Choir cyabaye uburyo bwo guhuza indirimbo, ukwizera n’igikorwa cy’urukundo—aho ubutumwa bwatangiriye mu mitima y’abaririmbyi, bukavugwa mu ndirimbo, ariko bukagaragarira cyane mu byo bakoze.

Nyuma y’iki gikorwa cy’urukundo, Shalom Choir yashyize hanze indirimbo nshya yitwa “Urukundo rw’Imana”, indirimbo yubakiye ku butumwa bw’urukundo Imana yakunze abantu. Muri yo baririmba bati: “Sinkirata ikindi keretse umusaraba...”

Umusaraba ni wo bashyira imbere nk’ikimenyetso gikomeye cy’urukundo rw’Imana n’agakiza. Ariko ku bwabo, urukundo rugaragarira ku musaraba ntirugomba kurangirira mu ndirimbo cyangwa mu magambo yo mu rusengero.

Ni yo mpamvu kuba barasuye abarwayi mbere yo gushyira iyi ndirimbo hanze bifite igisobanuro cyihariye: babanje gukora ibyo bagiye kuririmba.

Iyo baririmba ku rukundo rw’Imana, ubutumwa buba mu majwi; iyo begereye umurwayi, bakamufasha kwishyura ubuvuzi cyangwa bakamuha ikintu kimworohereza mu buzima, ubwo butumwa buva mu majwi bukajya mu bikorwa.

Perezida wa Korali Shalom, Roger Clement, yabwiye Paradise ko bishimiye kubona uburyo bwo guhuza ibyo baririmba n’ibyo bakora. Ati: “Twishimiye uyu munsi. Ni kenshi tubwiriza mu ndirimbo, ariko burya nta cyiza nko kubijyanisha n’ibikorwa uko tubonye uburyo."

Arakomeza ati: "Twumvaga rero iyi ndirimbo yacu bidahagije kuyisangiza abantu, ni yo mpamvu twishimiye kubibwira abarwayi mu rurimi barushaho kumva.”

Roger Clement kandi yasabye abazakumva iyi ndirimbo kutayumva nk’indirimbo isanzwe, ahubwo ko ubutumwa bwayo bwakwiye gutuma buri muntu agira uwo afasha.

Ati: “Abanyarwanda n’abandi bumva Ikinyarwanda tubifurije gufashwa n’iyi ndirimbo yacu. Gusa turabasaba ngo ugire nibura umwe usangiza urukundo rw’Imana mu bikorwa.”

Igikorwa cya Shalom Choir cyabaye nk’urugero rw’uko umuziki wa gikristo ushobora kurenga ku rubyiniro no mu rusengero ukagera mu buzima busanzwe bw’abantu.

Abarwayi bari mu bitaro ntibakeneye amagambo y’ihumure gusa; hari n’igihe bakeneye ubufasha bufatika, umuntu wo kubegera, kubatega amatwi no kubereka ko batari bonyine.

Ni na ho ubutumwa bw’Urukundo rw’Imana buhurira n’igikorwa cya Shalom Choir. Bararirimba urukundo, ariko banarugaragaza mu bikorwa.

Perezida wa Korali Shalom, Roger Clement, yagize ati: "Ni kenshi tubwiriza mu ndirimbo, ariko burya nta cyiza nko kubijyanisha n’ibikorwa uko tubonye uburyo."
