Shakilla spoke out to express gratitude towards organizers of the event and spurred church leaders and believers to be bold and accurate while telling the world of the past history of Rwanda in terms of encouraging people to apologize and instill in them the culture of forgiveness. As of the theme, Rwanda is building new hope and charity among Rwandans. Undoubtedly, sustainable development is knocking on the door.
The ‘’Refined by Fire’’ author, Pastor Jeanne d’ Arc Uwanyirigira witnessed that wounds damage a person’s outlook and it is much harder to forgive than apologize ,however, there is hope as God can do everything.
Dr. Peter Marchall is one of distinguished guests who attended the event and he reminded believers that God created people in the same way, so they should build on that to love one another. He asked God to bless Rwanda and said that he is a Rwandan in his heart despite his physical appearance is a Canadian.
“God knew that although He made the nations...made man; that man would fall, reject God and do things that are not His will. And we’re talking today about healing. Man has the ability apart from God to do wrong… The Light has come to Rwanda because we have gathered here this weekend and God is bringing healing to the people and nation of Rwanda. Only God can heal the people of Rwanda through the nations of the world”. Dr. Peter prayed.
The Noble Family church and Women Foundation Ministries senior shepherd, Apostle Mignonne Alice Kabera preached and told the story of the basket in which Moses was put before he was placed into water as he was fleeing. That basket was decorated well and the Nowa’s ark was well anointed all sides. She built on this story to compare believers and shepherds to the ark and the basket that have good outlook but broken inside their hearts. She advised them to lay down their autonomy and accept to be guided by God.
