Rwanda School of Ministry April 2024—147 Graduates
What a great week of ministry in Rwanda. Our School of Ministry graduation coincided with the thirty year anniversary (April 1994) of the genocide of the Tusi tribe by the Hutu tribe. Over two million innocent Tusi were mercilessly slaughtered, most by machete. I visited the genocide memorial and my heart and spirit was moved beyond control as I saw the horrific photos of slaughter; scores of bashed skulls were behind glass and the mass grave of over two hundred and twenty-five thousand people. The events that unfolded over those one hundred days of genocide are beyond belief. Rwandan’s have made great strides in healing their nation and has made unbelievable recovery from the atrocity inflicted by their own countrymen. Continue to pray for Rwanda.
Our first graduation class of one hundred and forty seven students in Rwanda join multiple graduation classes from RLHM extension sites in Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Kenya, and Burundi who have completed the one year program Christian Life Series from Global University’s School of Evangelism and Discipleship We give God all the praise! We have one hundred and forty-seven students from the four study centers, with over twenty participating churches. Our highlight was the graduation of Everine Nyirahene at age seventy-four. The graduation celebration had approximately five hundred in attendance. We worshipped, Dr. Hamm shared the Word of God, we celebrated the graduates, and gave them their charge. We concluded with a great catered banquet for all to enjoy.

Special thanks to Pastor Jonathan Ntegerejuwera, our Rwandan Director who did an amazing job of operating the four study centers over the past year. The graduation celebration was phenomenal. The success of the ministry is because of his hard work and sacrifice. Our Kenya director, Pastor Anthony Maina Wanjuki who helped us launch the school joined us for the week.
