Overview
Pastoral Outreach
Our Call
In 2011, God sent John Gasangwa to the shores of Lake Kivu to a village called Boneza. It was there that God planted a seed in the heart of this young man that would change his life forever. It not only changed his life but would change the lives of 26,000 people who called Boneza their home. Arise Rwanda Ministries was founded and today that vision burns with passion as it fulfills God’s purpose.
Our Goal
To answer the call of Jesus Christ to love, equip, and serve the people of Boneza by joining them on their journey out of poverty and leading them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The vision is big and requires visionary leadership as well as a joint effort with the pastors and churches that call Boneza their home. Through this vision, we started our Pastoral Care and Outreach program. It is headed up by one of our staff members, Pastor Arsene Manzi. Pastor Manzi has done an amazing job of helping to bring the pastors and churches together to serve as a spiritual team to reach the community of Boneza.
