Brother Emmanuel
On Monday evening, we’re pleased that Brother Emmanuel Gatera from Rwanda is going to be on campus to talk to students about his work in Rwanda.
Brother Emmanuel was educated in Burundi and Uganda and obtained a Master’s degree in Religious Studies at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. For five years he worked at Uganda Christian University as an Administrator and Professor. He speaks four languages.
In January 2006, he returned to Kigali, Rwanda and presently serves as Provincial Secretary to the Anglican Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini. He also planted an Anglican church in Kigali, Kimironko Parish, on August 20, 2006. This church currently serves over 300 Rwandans comprising of both Hutu and Tutsis. He preaches forgiveness to the Tutsi and repentance to the Hutu who were killers in the 1994 genocide.
With a passion to outreach to the poor and orphans in Kigali, Br. Emmanuel is affiliated with the Barakabaho Orphanage Foundation. Working hard to promote education and improve economic opportunities of the most needy orphans in his province, he continually promotes the spirit of reconciliation of Rwandans through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He’s speaking in the Andreas Hall Conference Room on Monday, February 11 at 7:30pm, following a presentation at 6:00 by a Covenant alum now serving in Asia. Pizza will be served!
