Seventh-day Adventist Church members in Rwanda were commended by a top government official this week for impacting their community through a monthly community service day held on the last Sunday of every month.
Minister Harelimana Cyriaque, the Minster of State in charge of socio-economic development in the Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC), commended the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Rwanda for contributing significantly to the development of the country.
Cyriaque highlighted this in Kicukiro District on Oct. 29, where thousands of Adventist church members in the city of Kigali were gathered for community work—Umuganda—which other church denominations do on the last Saturday of each month.
