Rwanda Persecution Alert: 5 Christians Arrested for Praying from a Home
On January 21, Rwanda Investigation Bureau announced that it has arrested 5 Christians for holding a prayer meeting in a home. At the moment, Christians can only hold their prayer or fellowship meetings into government approved and controlled buildings or churches where government spies report on people. This is because Kagame, the dictator president of Rwanda is worried about people meeting and plotting against him. So he tightly control Rwandans and mingle with their private lives. At the moment, there is no real freedom of speech, movement or assembly in Rwanda. The freedom is there only for a TV show or in talks and writings in the law or constitution but nobody is allowed to exercise his freedom!
PEOPLE CAN MEET TO PARTY BUT NOT TO PRAY
In Rwanda, 5 people or more, families can gather to party in their home but Christians and people of faith are not allowed to meet in their homes for their faith. Rwanda used to be a Christian nation but with the arrival of dictator president Kagame 30 years ago, Rwanda was made secular overnight.
In 2024, Rwandans began reporting road signs throughout the country, that forbid people to go pray at certain prayer mountains. There were signs everywhere where the Rwanda government was encouraging people to call police and report anyone they see at these mountains! (due to much oppression by the government even in their homes, people resort to outdoor prayers).

RWANDA HAS CLOSED OVER 16,000 CHURCHES In 2017, Rwanda closed over 6,000 within 3 months. In the summer of 2024, Rwanda closed 10,000 churches within 2 months! For the past 30 years under the rule of Kagame, thousands of Christians have been persecuted, thousands have been killed including famous Christian singers among them Kizito Mihigo; thousands have disappeared and many more (the lucky ones) have been forced to exile - the government won't even let people flee the country, you have to depart secretly and there are many who been killed trying to flee the country!
A YOUNG MAN'S STORY
"In 2023, a young man contacted our ministry from a prayer mountain in Rwanda! He had gotten there early, not many people were out yet. In shock, he called us saying, 'You cannot believe what I saw at the mountain... many dead bodies there... killed Christians, bodies in the depth of the prayer mountain ... it seemed they had been dead for days!" Such is the reality of things in Rwanda, yet, Kagame knows how to play Christianity when he is overseas, he acts like a Christian; every year, he holds Prayer Breakfast, to the degree that there are many churches in the West that have even given him a platform to speak from their pulpit; and there are many people who still praises the dictator and the country!!! These days, we are to exercise our discernment!
