President Paul Kagame of Rwanda has today met with Rev. Billy Kim a prominent christian evangelist.
Rev. Billy Kim is a former president of the Baptist World Alliance and is the senior pastor of the Suwon Central Baptist Church, which he built from 12 members to over 15,000.
President Kagame is currently in Seoul where he is scheduled to attend the Korea-Africa Summit from June 4-5 at KINTEX International Exhibition Center in Ilsan and Seoul, Korea.
The Baptist Church is operational in Rwanda though the number of faithfuls is smaller.
In 1964, the Zaire war forced missionaries of the Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society to flee to Rwanda where they later established.
They began the work of God in the northern part of Rwanda (Gisenyi and Ruhengeri) in 1966. Official registration took place in 1967.
churches which form the Association of Baptist Churches in Rwanda believe in: the holy scriptures, both Old and New Testaments; the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit; the nature of the human being created in the image of God without sin, and the fall after disobeying the divine law, becoming a sinner in the eyes of God; salvation found only in Jesus Christ.
Those who repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour are forgiven and saved. Those who are born again will inherit eternal life. Those who do not receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will be condemned to the eternal destruction.
