🔴The Free Baptist Church of Burundi Ordains 16 New Pastors
Kayanza, Burundi — Sunday, December 15th, 2024— The Free Baptist Church of Burundi is thrilled to announce the ordination of 16 new pastors. This significant event hosted by Bishop Emmanuel Nsanganiye, represents a commitment to spiritual leadership and service within both the church and the broader community.

“Christians must understand the value of joy and gratitude in their beliefs,” Bishop Ntukamazina remarked.
“They should find joy in their relationship with God, regardless of their circumstances.”
This retired Bishop and Founder of the Burundi Reformed Episcopal Church (EERB) encouraged the new pastors to embody this spirit in their ministries.
📌The event was attended by numerous distinguished guests, including Col. Remy Cishahayo, the Governor of Kayanza Province, as well as bishops and congregants from EERB, Bishop from Elim Charismatic Church, and Bishop and pastors from the Moravian Church.
In his address, Governor Cishahayo expressed his delight at witnessing pastors from various denominations working together in unity.
“This gathering symbolizes the fellowship and unity among different congregations and denominations,” he stated.
As these new pastors embark on their important journey, we wish them a fruitful and impactful ministry!
