2. Apôtre Dr. Paul Gitwaza: Umuvugabutumwa wubatse umuryango w’ivugabutumwa urenga imipaka y’u Rwanda
Apôtre Dr. Paul Gitwaza ni umwe mu bavugabutumwa bafite ibikorwa bigera ku rwego mpuzamahanga. Ni we washinze Authentic Word Ministries (AWM) kandi ayobora Zion Temple Celebration Center.
Muri Kanama 2026, yitabiriye igiterane mpuzamatorero cya Rwanda Shima Imana cyabereye kuri Stade Amahoro, mbere yo kujya i Bujumbura mu Burundi, aho yifatanyije na Zion Temple Burundi mu kwizihiza imyaka 25 iri torero rimaze rishinzwe. Igiterane cyo mu Burundi cyari gifite insanganyamatsiko igira iti “Haguruka Ugende”.
Mu Ukwakira 2026, umuryango wa Authentic Word Ministries na Zion Temple Celebration Center wasabye imbabazi abaforomo, ababyaza n’abandi bagizweho ingaruka n’amagambo yari yavugiwe mu nyigisho ya Gitwaza yo ku wa 7 Kanama 2026, nyuma y’uko amashusho yayo akwirakwiye ku mbuga nkoranyambaga.

Ku bantu benshi bamukurikira, ni umuvugabutumwa ufite uburyo bwihariye bwo gutanga inyigisho no gutegura ibiterane binini. Ku rundi ruhande, nk’uko byagaragaye mu kibazo cy’amagambo yavuzwe mu nyigisho ye, inshingano z’umuvugabutumwa ukurikiranwa n’abantu benshi zijyana no kwitondera imvugo no gusobanura ubutumwa bwe mu buryo butabangamira abandi.

4. Apôtre Alice Mignonne Kabera: Umuvugabutumwa wubatse urubuga ruhuza abagore, amatorero n’ibikorwa byo gufasha abaturage

Women Foundation Ministries yubatse izina binyuze mu bikorwa byo guhuza abagore, kubafasha gukura mu kwizera no kubashishikariza kugira uruhare mu iterambere ry’imiryango yabo.
Mu myaka yakurikiyeho, igiterane All Women Together cyagiye kiba urubuga ruhuriza hamwe abagore, abavugabutumwa n’abigisha baturuka mu Rwanda no mu bindi bihugu. Kuri ubu, cyabaye kimwe mu bikorwa by’ingenzi bifitanye isano n’umurimo wa Mignonne Kabera.

Uretse inyigisho, ibikorwa byo gufasha abaturage bigaragaza indi nkingi y’umurimo we: igitekerezo cy’uko ivugabutumwa rigomba kujyana no kwita ku mibereho y’abantu. Inkunga yatanzwe yo gusana amazu y’abarokotse Jenoside ni urugero rufatika rw’ibyo bikorwa.
