Since arriving in Rwanda on Saturday evening, Christianityworks Board Member Stephen Marshall and CEO Berni Dymet have had a blessed, busy and fruitful time.
Arrival and Amazing Welcome
It began by being welcomed at Kigali airport by Bishop Jean Sibomana, the head of the Rwanda Pentecostal Churches, a movement of almost 2 million members, in a country of 14 million. Bishop Jean waited for over an hour at the airport to welcome them to Rwanda and drive them to their hotel.
Berni commented:
Perhaps we comfortable and casual westerners (me included) have a lot to learn about honour and humility from Rwandan culture. This simple act has left an indelible mark on me. Isn’t it always the simple acts of kindness, performed quietly, away from the glare of the spotlight, that have the greatest impacts in our lives?
Church Ministry – Salvations
On Sunday, Stephen and Berni ministered at a local church in Kigali.
Here Stephen is praying for some new believers who gave their lives to Christ after the message that Berni preached. To God be all the glory!
Media Training Workshop for Radio Stations
On Monday, the two day Christianityworks media training workshop began. The key speakers were African Director of Christianityworks Joseph Kebbie, another man who is a longtime African Christian radio “legend” (but whose name we cannot publish for security reasons) and Berni Dymet.
The training was attended by around 60 leaders of Christian radio stations and media outlets from across Africa, including: Benin, Burundi, DR Congo,Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
