✍️✍️Wednesday, April 22, 2026 , The Burundi Assemblies of God Fellowship (BAGF), led by Bishop NDAYISABA Jérôme, and God's Way Church, led by Pastor NAHIMANA Léonard, officially signed a partnership agreement with Evangelism Explosion Burundi" (EE Burundi).
📓Canon Ndikumana Israël, the legal representative of EE Burundi, expressed confidence that this new model of collaboration with local churches will empower congregations to take ownership of evangelism more actively than before, leading to growth both within and beyond their walls.
📕Pastor Ndayisaba Jérôme shared his appreciation, saying:"The training EE tools are extremely valuable for the growth of the Church of Christ, especially in reaching the lost. I can personally testify that EE Burundi supported me when I was planting a church during very difficult times. They visited us repeatedly at our church in Gitega.
We have dedicated 2026 as our year of 'Evangelism Explosion" and we are aiming to build a church of soul-winners within a congregation of spectators, meaning we want a team of one on one evangelists to bring many people to Christ."
📗Pastor Nahimana Léonard also took a moment to express his gratitude, saying:
"As a church planter, evangelism is the best way. We need the knowledge and tools of evangelism to reach the lost. I personally went through EE training and it helped me greatly. I hope others can access this training so they can be continually strengthened in evangelism.
We had the passion for evangelism but we needed the tools to increase our capacity and bring more people to Christ. Just as Jesus said, 'two are better than one' ,we hope that partnering with EE Burundi will be a great blessing to our church and to many."
📙In closing, Diomède Hakizimana, Director of EE Burundi, announced that the organization is prepared to help these churches develop well-trained teams for a one on one evangelism, targeting adults, youth, and children, and to consolidate that work across all areas where the churches are present and beyond.
He concluded by inviting any other church interested in partnering with EE Burundi to reach out to the organization's leadership to begin discussions toward a formal partnership agreement.
