RWANDA

The inaugural Perspectives Rwanda course was launched in 2015 with thirty-two church and mission leaders. The same year, the first instructor training was conducted. A start-up team was formed, led by pastor Rukundo Rogers. A second Perspectives Intensive course was held in 2016 for student leaders in churches and university. These events laid a foundation for a future national Perspectives program. Classes continued to be held annually in the capital city of Kigali until the 2020 global pandemic. The Rwandan program pivoted to virtual classes, enabling a multiplication of annual courses, as well as a geographic spread of students. A Perspectives national team was trained and formalized in 2022 with Pacifique Bisangwa assuming leadership of the national program. One exciting result of Perspectives in Rwanda is the formation of the first indigenous mission sending organization.
