Brief History about Rwanda
Sixteen years ago, the Republic of Rwanda was in obscurity. Wailing and bloodshed were visible. There was no place where people could rest their bodies in peace and safety.

Children, women, and men ran through, in and around looking for safety; as the rest of the world cried out to the Lord to end the brutal acts resulted from genocide. Today, if a person walks in Rwanda they see a vibrant economy, well dressed people and no trash anywhere – Oh, what a change!.

The country is now experiencing economic growth; emphasizing infrastructure, hygiene and human value.

The United Methodist Church (UMC) is planting churches and bringing emotional and spiritual healing to the people.
