Rwanda

Missionaries: Louis & Martha Johnson
The church was started by Rwandans who attended the Bible school in Nairobi, Kenya.  In 1999 it was reported that there were 1600 constituents and three churches.  However, the church was never officially registered due to the civil war.  The Louis Johnsons arrived in January 2004 and are in the process of registering the church.  Unable to live in Rwanda until the registration is complete, they are serving temporarily as furlough replacements in Reunion.
