Wednesday - Runda Parish
" I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in
every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your
partnership in the gospel...I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers
with me of grace." --Philippians 1: 3 & 5
We spent an incredible day spent with Redeemer's Sister Church,
Runda Parish and their Chapel, Muganza Chapel. When the team arrived at
Muganza Chapel, people were already singing, dancing and worshiping Jesus
Christ. Inside we were greeted by women, men and a preschool
class. The children sang sweet songs and recited the story of Creation to
Christ return. Praise God for Athansia, Muganza's Catachist. She is
a woman of God!
I had the blessing of presenting Pastor Jean Baptiste and
Muganza Chapel with funds to help purchase a much needed key board. They
were overjoyed with Redeemer's wonderful gift! I wish all of Redeemer
could have experienced the love and gratitude Muganza feels for the gift.
We were humbled to be invited to Athansia's (Catechist) home for
tea and a meal. Athanasia has been given the gift of hospitality.
Afterwards, we went to Joselyn's home for a delicious lunch. Joseyln is Runda
Parish's Catechist. We felt very loved by these gifts of hospitality.
In the afternoon, the Team showed the Jesus film. What an
incredible experience to partner with Pastor Jean Baptiste in sharing the
Gospel. It was a powerful 2 hours! Twenty people gave their lives
to Christ! Yesu ashimwe! (Christ be praised) We also fed
everyone a basket dinner and they were thrilled to have a delicious meal. The people were nourished spiritually and physically! Jesus
is the Bread of Life!
Our day with Runda began at 8:30 am and we returned to
the Guest House at 9 pm. We were tired, but energized by the power
of the Holy Spirit, also!
Imana ishimwe (God be praised) for His many blessings with Runda
Parish. I am excited for Redeemer's partnership in the Gospel with Runda
to continue growing, as we share the love, grace and mercy of Christ!
Imana iguhe umugisha (Many Blessings)
