His long-awaited arrival in Kigali stirred emotions across the Christian community, with crowds of believers, musicians, and journalists welcoming him with joy and reverence. For many, his return marks more than just a concert; it is a spiritual homecoming that reaffirms the power of worship and divine purpose.

The evening of November 3, 2025, was electric at Kigali International Airport. Fans, fellow gospel artists like Aline Gahongayire, Gaby Kamanzi, and Fanny Wibabara, and media figures gathered to welcome back a man whose music has transcended generations. Some described the moment as symbolic, comparable to the triumphant homecoming of national football hero Sugira Ernest.

Ngendahayo, visibly moved by the love of his people, expressed gratitude for what he called “the unending grace of God that bridges time and distance.” Speaking to the press, he said, “It feels surreal to be home again. Kigali isn’t just a city; it’s the heart of my memories, my ministry, and my people.”

He arrived in Kigali ahead of his upcoming event, “Ni We Healing Concert,” scheduled to take place at BK Arena on November 29, 2025. The concert, originally planned for August, was postponed to allow for greater preparation and anticipation. Tickets range from 5,000 to 30,000 Rwandan francs, ensuring that worshippers from all walks of life can take part in what promises to be a night of healing and divine encounter.

Ngendahayo’s message throughout his interviews was clear: worship is not entertainment; it is a calling. He humbly stated, “I am not a musician, I am a worshipper. God gives me the songs, and I only share them. I often receive melodies in dreams, wake up, pick up my guitar, and the song is ready.”

He went on to emphasize that the credit for his success does not belong to him but to the One who inspires him. “People may think they love my songs because of me, but the truth is, they love them because of the Spirit behind them. When you dedicate your art to God, He takes ownership and multiplies its impact.”

This perspective, he said, is the reason his songs continue to touch generations long after they’re released. “When you attribute glory to God, the work outlives you. But when you glorify yourself, it ends with you,” he added.

Richard Nick Ngendahayo’s return to Rwanda is more than a personal milestone; it is a testimony of faith, endurance, and divine timing. His humility, passion, and unwavering devotion to God have made him a beacon of hope for Christian artists across Africa.

As he prepares to lead thousands in worship at BK Arena, his words echo with timeless truth:
“When God writes your story, even 17 years cannot erase His promises.”

Indeed, Ngendahayo reminds us that real success in ministry is not measured by fame or applause but by the lasting impact of faith-inspired music that continues to heal, inspire, and draw hearts closer to God.

After seventeen years away from his homeland, the beloved worship singer Richard Nick Ngendahayo has finally returned to Rwanda.
