The church hall was occupied by Christ’s Church in Rwanda (CCR) which hosted its first service on March 4, 2006. CCR is preparing for its one-year anniversary. The building that was initially identified for a nursery began being utilized by Kigali International Community School (KICS) in April 2007. In just one year’s time, KICS has grown from 44 to 95 students (K-12) representing 23 nationalities. The third facility is being occupied by KICS secondary students, Food for the Hungry International (FHI), a computer laboratory, a chemistry/biology laboratory, a developing library, a kitchen shared by KICS and FHI, the ROC Education Center, and a few other offices.
Additionally, ROC is partnering with Oklahoma Christian University (OC) on two projects. The first project is the third year of the OC/Rwanda Presidential Scholars Program where ten students from the top in the country are selected for education at OC. The second project is with OC’s Academy of Leadership and Liberty and Peace through Business. This program is designed to select and to bring women to the U.S. for business training. Both groups are then expected to return to Rwanda to share what they have learned and aid in the development of Rwanda.
ROC is blessed to have these partners who are serving Rwanda because of their love for God and their desire to see others enjoy the hope He provides.
