Church of Faith in Rwanda

The Church of Faith congregation rejoices that ICM is partnering to build a church with them. The congregation, 280 members strong, was founded in 2000, and has been meeting in a rundown shack. Reverend Callixte has led the church since its inception and has been in ministry for seventeen years. He is married with seven children. The congregation resides in Busumba, a rural community of 5,000. There is no evangelical church in the community.

Rwanda is a country rebuilding and healing from the devastating effects of its 1994 civil war that resulted in the death of nearly one million of its people in less than four months. Today, the government is supporting major initiatives to develop a more modern, efficient and cohesive society. The church has become an integral part of this regeneration. 

ICM has nine churches built or under construction in Rwanda.
